Attention, you must be online to activate Kaspersky Online Scanner, since the latest Anti-Virus bases version must be downloaded prior to scan. Otherwise we cannot guarantee detection of latest viruses. [21]

Try downloading and installing, then updating, the trial version of Nod32 from http://www.nod32.com.au/nod32/download/download.html Do a full system scan when updated and report back if anything is found.
