Yeah, I guess I was stupid and downloading some stuff and I'm pretty sure I just got a virus.

This thing called malwarrior keeps popping up; I ran a Symantic Endpoint virus scan and it said it found and quarantined 2 trojan horses. Is that all I have to do? Or is there more to do.

That's all. Once they're quarantined, they can't affect your system.

However, it's probably a good idea to download AdAware or Spybot and run those (or even both, they sometimes catch things the other one misses) and that will help remove any malware or adware, and can even help speed up your comp.

You can get AdAware from:

http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

And SpyBot from:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html (the very first link in the download section)

Both are free and small, easy to install. :) Good luck!
