Virus/ Sound problems

[Triantafillos]

Hello to everyone!

I am an owner of a VGN-FZ21Z . Lately, i have some problems with the time my laptop takes to open the web pages...
My Norton antivirus found one virus and didnt delete but it placed it i quarantine... Is there a chance that, that is the reason for my slowdown?( i just saw at the statistics menu that tha antivirus has till now found or blocked 3 viruses)
The viruses names are : Downloader and w32.rajump...

And another problem is that sometimes when i open my laptop and start tha windows(vista) i have no sound. It isnt on mute and tha volume seems to be to the highest level.

I cant find my recycle bin...It disappeared from my desktop.... where is it????

Please i need your help!!! I am a desperate houseuser....Thank you in advanced.
Sorry for my bad English! :smileygrin:
