    Yeh, of course you can, i would recommend AVG for free download.

    He can check if it is a virus by:
    Start>run>type msconfig and click ok> select selective startup>untick load startup items and select apply and close.

    the computer reboots and if the computer is still having the same problems, it's not a virus.

    Simply reverse the steps to start it back normally.
