Unhappy rookie mistake...

damn... I really messed up, I downloaded some files, and I forgot to scan the files after I finished. I've caught at least 4 different files that were viruses, but I quickly quarantined them.
This last time I used LW I downloaded some, but I forgot to scan, and just as luck would have it, I got a virus. McAffee detected the virus halfway as I was playing the song. [what are the odds. huh? McAffee failed me...]
I deleted the file.

So, now, every 30 seconds, I get a 'pop-up like' message... (on the taskbar, a bubble)

It says:
Type: Virus/Network Worm
Damage Level: High
Description: Virus that infects executable files.
Recommendation: Delete/Quarantine immediately.
Protection: Click this baloon to download certified Antivirus software.

note: I am very cautious. About what I say, do, hear, .. ect ect...
So I noticed that the word balloon in the message was misspelled.


So, I am not sure if I can trust this baloon.

I'm no expert at this kind of stuff, I ran a scan (McAffee) on my computer, and I found nothing.
So, any experts that can help me out on this one? ..
