Hello ronlill1yahoocom,
Windows Defender/Security comes pre-installed with Windows 10. If you've not installed third-party AV, you can scan your system for virus via Windows Defender/Security.
If you've installed third-party AV, refer the AV vendor's instructions for scanning your system.
Hope this helps!- Reza_AmeriSilver Contributor
In case you have Windows 10, you may open Windows Defender and run a full system scan with it.
You may try Windows Defender Offline too, take a look at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help-protect-my-pc-with-microsoft-defender-offline-9306d528-64bf-4668-5b80-ff533f183d6c
