My dad was using my computer, and when i went to use it, this virus xp thing popped up. I clicked it out once, but it started popping up a few other times so i just shut my computer off. I turned it back on and it seems to be working fine.. Could there be a virus festering within my computer without me knowing?

Yes there could be, run a virus scan and also try an online one too.
