Are you just trying to test out the new Windows Beta Live Care (or
whatever they're calling it) or do you think you have a virus? If the
former, I would think they'd have a contact number or website where you
were trying to scan.
If you think you have a virus and don't have a current version
full-featured antivirus installed, start by scanning with either
Sysclean or Dave Lipman's Multi-AV. Follow up by getting, installing,
and updating a full-featured av and then doing a thorough scan. After
you've scanned for viruses, look for non-viral malware. Instructions
for using Sysclean and scanning for non-viral malware are here:

Multi-AV and instructions are here:
