    Right, so I'm in college today and my friend had a security alret that she has seen for about a month, naturally, I downloaded avg 8 to her machine, ran the scan, and she has 12 viruses -SO FAR, four trojans, and 5 "Win32/Cryptor" Viruses, and three "FakeAlert" viruses. I have no idea what type of viruses the last two are.


    Any suggestions as to how to go about removing them? I don't wanna ruin her computer even though I'm frankly surprised it still runs at all....

    Oh and she's using Vista basic.

    All help greatly appreciated
