We think we have had a virus

Opened lap top yesterday, we had lots of folders on the desktop and they appear to be there but they are all empty! we have restored the data and backdated it to 3 march but they have not appeared in the folders they have been on since last year so should be there? we dont use it for banking but do have some accounts paypal play.com etc. cleared all history in internet settings on thursday including user names so not sure if data has been hacked what they would get. think may be a virus got in on saturday not sure. does anyone know if the pictures, word docs etc would still be on and if so how would we find them? we run virus check and it said it found 2!
