Windows 10: Viruses

Worried that I have a virus. I had one a while back called "Mobigame", and I worry that my computer is still corrupted. What do I do?

:)

 

Question on viruses and documents

Once the virus is removed just use a reputable antivirus program like AVG. I suggest AVG because it does check usb devices for viruses automatically once you stick the usb drive into the usb port.
