They don't need to know you added RAM if that wasn't the problem. The memory obviously had nothing to do with your problems. First thing I would do is to do a search, make sure ALL the files that came with that boost are gone. THEN do your virus search.
Another thing I do as well is I go on the net, hit ctrl alt del and see what progs are running, then look it up on the net. Usually you can find out what they are, if they are not necessary, or are from something you thought you deleted, then you can look them up, get rid of them too. I did that last week. Puter runs so much faster now. Hehehe.
Good luck
