My laptop appears to be running slower lately and every now and again, all the icons on the taskbar disappear and re-appear randomly. Is this an indication that may have a virus?

My paid for AV returns a clean bill of health.

How can I conduct a complete and thorough check for, and remove viruses from my laptop ?

How does a professional remove virus? Cmd Prompt?

Does it involve much?

Would like to have documentation for this for future reference.

Cheers!!!
