I'm not sure I understand what you've wrote. You had a virus on one pc, used another, then today started the first pc with virus and want to know why it didn't tell you???

How did you find out you have a virus?
What version of windows are you using?
What security software are you using? and,
If its still there how are you going to remove it?

If you have access to another computer download Superantispyware and Malwarebytes on it, copy them to a usb drive and install them on the infected computer. Try to update and run their scans.

A full reinstall is a last restort, but since you're not giving any decent info theres no point in trying to help you.

Go into the BIOS make the first boot device the cd-rom.
