Ok, I don't know if this is a virus or not, but I have a lot of stuff I don't want to lose. I know there are viruses that add extensions to files, but I have something that's adding what seems to be a blue triangle in a grey circle (like a play button?) to my icons. Only noticed two so far. Is this a virus, or is it a program messing with my comp? One's a torrent, the other is a txt file. EDIT: Found another txt file with this icon.

Well, I cant see any viruses in the log. Try to scan an online scanner. (here's some instructions http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/671553 )
