Loads of dialogue boxes have just sprung up on my laptop saying Windows - Delayed Write Failed.
Another is saying Windows detected a hard disk problem.
I've googled it and there does seem to be a virus with this message. Question is... What do I do now?!?

untick the file in msconfig, reboot using safe mode with networking, and scan with malwarebytes, tdsskiller etc.!!
