It looks like a white bit of paper with a sort of screen shot looking thing inside like word has a blue w in it. (sorry for not being technical)
It wont let me open the file to see what it actually is. It just says "Chosse the programme you want to use to open this file" Should I chosse one? Is this the virus?0/2013

Malwarebytes is an 'on demand' scanner
You need a scanner that scans 'on the fly' (all the time)
AVAST or AVIRA are my recommendations (free off 'filehippo')
Im not entirely convinced your free of nasties:idea:0
