I just wrote her a long letter.. How did you find your virus? Did it show up on a virus scan, or was it hidden? I'm wondering if that's what hit me.. I have found nothing tho, and have done several scans..
Well.. it's too late now.. I have another Dell on the way.. I love those puters...and I will love having XP again.. As much as I hated it at first I got to love it.. ;)
By the way.. that is not a toilet... that's a cesspool.. lol

The virus would be hidden.there is a diagnostic disk by Symantec called FixKlez, but what she should is acll in a local computer services technician who could do onsite repair work.It would take about an hour or two if its just a garden variety Klez.I bet the Nimbda is the worst one of the two.They have to be removed and all corrupted files fixed or deleted before you can run and install any virus software.
If there is a local computer store that can recommend a name for such testing and repairs, she should find out.Go that route first.

If you have it on your machine, normal Norton stuff won't detect it.It's already corrupted.
