Try Ewido on line scan. I think that will do it. Have not used it in a =
long time but maybe they still do

Please cross-post; do not multi-post.
Please include relevant material, we are not mind-readers.
You have a hardware problem, not a virus problem.

Well i manage to came across one but it aint for free, use a search engine
this is what I used to find it just today "CMOS antivirus software scanner"
, but then again I havent tried it, and if am not mistaken it was previously
designed for a certain form of infection.
