How do you test your computer to see if it is infected with malware?

Question

I have McAffee and Ad-aware. I got a message that I had something being blocked. I ran McAfee and Ad-aware and the usual stuff came up to remove, but nothing out of the ordinary. Now when I go to get on the internet, I keep getting that message that internet explore has encountered a problem and needs to close. How do I fix that and is there some way to test my computer to make sure it isn't infected?

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Doesn't sound like an infection, sound more like damaged windows files, which can only be repaired in two ways, doing a system repair install or reinstalling windows.

But if you would like to test your protecton software, go here and use this free online scanner.
