The hyperlinks are there in blue and the mouse changes format to the hand to click on them, but when I click nothing happens except they turn color to dark purple.  When I click on the ? button in the windows live email page nothing happens either.  I'm on Windows 8.1 and I'm not sure if I got a virus or what???

 There was a bubble that disappeared really quickly saying something about a virus but it was too quick to read.  I have done two scans with my purchased eset NOD32 antivirus 7 software which detected 2 threats and cleaned them up.  I have restarted my laptop about 6 times now,  checked my settings on both IE and WLM to see if everything was checked off and it seems to be fine.  

Please help! I'm going nuts!  lol  Thank you!
