Win 7 problems - VIRUS??

wondering if I could possibly have gotten a virus...

Win 7 computer

History:
I had an Email Sunday that faked my sister's acct as a send address - it was junk - I didn't open it all the way, but MS Outlook 2003 quick view panel did show it, so....(??)

also had a Firefox update that choked & an iTunes update that choked

have been having problems with the system hanging & nearly impossible to get backups done (tried to CDs and to DVDs both)

Precautions:

I use MSE all the time. Also have (or thought I had a firewall in the Router - some cheap Netgear router)

I ran Malware bytes on a Quick scan last night. It found nothing.

I also ran MSE on a Quick scan and it found nothing.

I ran CCleaner this afternoon and it found found several Firewall Policy Rules that are Invalid.

I ran a full scan with Malwarebytes this evening (after an update of the database) - again, nothing.

- anything else I should do??

iTunes will not run now & claims it is missing some files. I have not tried a new install there.

I did reinstall Firefox 4 and it seems fine now.
