Re: My friend's got this nice virus...
If its XP, you can try repairing it. When you get to the blue screen area on the install when its booting from the XP cd, dont choose the first repair that it shows, go through steps until you see repair a second time.
Other then that, probably gonna have to reformat unless you can get into safe mode and run a virus scan.
