So while I was away at the LAN party a friend borrowing one of my old laptops got a virus from facebook trying to close a pop up window. The laptop had avg on it which I realized sucks. I never got around to installing avast on that laptop. Well I'm trying to get rid of this virus And it refuses to download avast from the website, I can't transfer it over the network. I burnt the install file onto a cd and the laptop says the disc is blank when I load it. I'm assuming this is the virus. Does anyone have suggestions? I'm thinking I probably need a boot disc, preferably a cd as my external floppy is buried somewhere.
I feel bad for the guy. He was afraid to tell me. He is generally very careful but a clever person coded the virus in the close box of the popup. I told him anymore end the process when that happens.
