Any suggestions or recommendations?
AS you are having an 'outdated' anti virus program - I would suggest removing it via add\remove and installing the FREE antivirus AVG - you can get it here:

I also would recommend scanning your computer with an on-line scan:

After hat - have a look at the Anti-Parasite-Suite:
