Why I keep leaving so abruptly

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the reason I've leaving weirdly is that my computer has a virus (I think), thus I may not be able to play much (if at all) for a while, as I'm not sure if I'm capable of getting rid of it.
That's all. Have a nice day.

Try using an anti virus program such as AVAST.

If you have windows you can download Microsoft Security Essentials for free from the Microsoft site. It works well (its kept my computer virus free for two years so far) and it works almost entirely in the background. No annoying popups like AVG or Avast, it just does its thing and let's you forget its even there.

Yes you can. As others said, use an anti-virus program or take it to someone who knows how to remove viruses professionally.

I used MS Security Essentials for nearly the whole time I've had my laptop. My laptop ran incredibly slow and I could never figure out why. About a month ago my computer's speed became so unbearably slow (Was using 100% of both cores (Even after restarts) and anywhere between 50% and 80% of my RAM). I opened Task Manager to locate the process that was killing everything. It was an MS Security Essentials process (MsMpEng.exe). I uninstalled MS Security Essentials and downloaded Avast which is just as good (Minus the pop ups) and doesn't have any nasty processes that eat 90-100% of your CPU all the time. MS Security Essentials is a good antivirus, but the speed that it makes your PC run at is horrendous.

CCcleaner, also make sure not to mix data backed up before the virus and data from after the virus.

If you take the time to look at all the options on Avast you can turn off the "annoying" popups. I've been using avast for over 5 years now. Before I used to use Norton. Oh how I regret ever installing Norton *facepalm*
