    If you are using old version of Anti-Virus then you should remove it completely first.
    Update your Windows and also update Microsoft Security Essentials.
    >perform defragnment
    >perform disk clean up
    >after that Check upgrade
    >do quick scan and remove virus if any exist and then try full scan again.

    I would like to suggest you to full scan your system on safe mode if there is any previous software is installed remove them first installation wand there were no prior security softwares, and one important thing is Defragmentation process is done in Vista and Windows7 automatically.

    if using all the above steps even you are not able to get back your system as it was earlier try restore point it is the best way to remove all auto changes which is causes by the virus or any other executable files or also there is one more options is to is format your all the hard disc and install the operating system again..
