    Try Ewido on line scan. I think that will do it. Have not used it in a long time but maybe they still do

    Please cross-post do not multi-post.

    Please include relevant material, we are not mind-readers.

    You have a hardware problem, not a virus problem.

    Well i manage to came across one but it aint for free, use a search engine

    this is what I used to find it just today "CMOS antivirus software scanner"

    , but then again I havent tried it, and if am not mistaken it was previously

    designed for a certain form of infection.
