Hi Kris,
I've recently been through the same thing helping a neighbor. In
addition to the helpful advice everyone else has given, I highly
recommend installing Spybot - Search & Destroy on any Windows machine.
You can download it from http://safer-networking.org/index2.html
Interestingly enough it works on Linux (via Wine) and Mac OSX as well.
Good luck.

Hi folks.
I have a windows machine that is badly infected with viruses and
malware (go figure). I was thinking, what better way to remove a virus
than by using a bootable image of linux.
Can anyone give any suggestions for:
A) a Free antivirus that works with some flavor of linux?
B) Is there a free online scan that might work within a linux
operating system?
You know what I'm trying to do. Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
