Virus issues - Attacks IE, Instant messangers, E-Mail?

My friend has this virus on her computer and I haven't quite figured it out yet.. but, she says it takes IE at least 30 minutes to load and she is completely unable to sign onto any instant messangers or her email.



She says she has done a virus scan, but she does not have any way of removing them. Also, it would be best for a free program. [if not, maybe a trial will work as well?]



Would a program like Avast! Virus Cleaner would be okay?

You also want Spybot and HiJackThis! Both are useful pieces of software to have.

I would try www.pandasoftware.com and do the free scan offered. This will tell you the name of the virus and also tell you how to get rid of it.



At the website click on free scan and then just follow directions

Download and install avst, the key is to choose the option 'scan computer when next restart', this should remove ones thats difficult to do .
Visit Microsoft Update and install the latest updates.



Then download and run AVAST 4 Home Edition Antivirus

It's crucial to keep your antivirus software current with the latest updates (usually called definition files) that help the tool identify and remove the latest threats.
