It's not like he wants his computer infected or is sending spam on purpose, right? I'm sure he could handle installing two programs himself. If he really can't, someone just has to install these two programs for him. Either way, it won't take more than 10-15 minutes to install these two. I've linked directly to the installers for both programs below. AVG Antivirus http://free.avg.com/us-en/download-free-antivirus Malwarebytes (note that software updates are done manually) http://malwarebytes-anti-malware.en.softonic.com/download#ptn=malwarebytes At risk of sounding like an endorsement, both programs do a surprisingly good job of protecting your computer from viruses considering that they are free. I gave up Norton years ago in favor of these two. They also don't bog my system down nearly as much as Norton did. 1) Download and install AVG and Malwarebytes 2) Uninstall whatever existing antivirus software he has on his machine now. 3) Run Malwarebytes and AVG scans Hope this helps him, -ant- -----Original Message----- From: jwan allen [mailto:jwan.al...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2011 1:07 PM To: kent williams Cc: Thor Teague; Odeluga, Ken; Martin Dust; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) 313 hopefully a kind soul can do this over the memorial day weekend!
