I'm assuming I have some kind of virus, even through my ckeckers say no, but found my documents and settings file locked and computer says access denied. Shows Apeil 2011 as date made, computer has been same before that time.

That depends on your OS (XP, Vista, 7) so I can't give the full details here.
