Computer Virus Problems
A friend of mine with zero computer skills has gone and got her laptop infected with god knows what virus and has requested my assistance. Whatever it is it is stopping her from accessing the web, so I was going to put some tools on a USB and do my best to fix it.
As there are like a billion tools out there, what would you folks recommend as good "scan and destroy" tools for this situation?

see Lathum's thread from the other day for links.
install and run AVG or Avira AntiVir and then MalwareBytes AntiMalware to clean it up. here http://operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=74152
