You do have an anti-virus installed, right.
Most viruses don't show themselves off like that, but error logs do.
Notepad file? You must mean .txt file. From what I've been able to gather, there's no way for a virus to live in a .txt file. There's probably some useful error information in there regarding you latest install.
