My system has crashed several times over the last 48 hours. i made a mistake by not renewing my anti-virus software and removed it 2 weeks ago! i must have downloaded something that contained a virus. i have tried several online scans, McAffee, Kapersky, windows live one and none of them are completing. one i start one of these programs online, the computer freezes. i have no idea where to start.
i did get "windows malicous viral removal tool" (or whatever its called) to detect a virus during the scanning process, however, the system crashed before it completed.
