Infected machine on dial-up Noel S Pamfree 10-15-2007

It transpires a stupid friend of mine did not think he needed any anti-virus
software. I am fairly sure he has been infected.

He only has dial-up so when I go there tomorrow I won't be able to use an
online scanner without spending all day on the Net.

Is there any way I can download something onto my flash pen and run a virus
check from that before I install a virus checker?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Noel

Dave Lipman's tools:
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe

Download Multi-AV, install it on your computer, update it completely
(all 4 scanners), then burn the FOLDER to CD.

Copy it from CD to exactly where it was installed on your computer to
the infected computer, boot the infected computer in safe mode, run all
scanners until the report clean at least twice.

The updates, once downloaded, are in the folder, so you can
update/burn/take with you to clean.

Thanks very much,

I already have a virus checker installed on my machine (F-Secure) - is it
safe to
install Dave Lipman's as well - even if it is only temporary?

Thanks,

Noel

Yes, Dave's tool will not interfere with any other resident anti-virus
programs installed.
