Computer problems...

We started getting an error message on our computer today. The computer that is getting the message is less than one year old. The message is telling us that there is a hard drive problem. I honestly believe the problem might really be a virus. My wife is in the midst of checking the entire system out and scanning for malware or viruses. I really hope we can figure out the problem and that they computer isn't failing us already. We are having a run of things breaking lately and this would be just one more thing we have to deal with.
