My laptop was infected with a malware yesterday. A message from "anti-virus center" kept popping up every 2 minutes saying my laptop was "seriously infected". Today when I switched on my laptop, Windows did this startup repair thing and now the message doesn't come up anymore. Does that mean that the malware virus is gone? How would I know for sure? Please help relieve my stress =)
