My mum's computer has apparently got a virus and now because of this she can't get the internet to work.

She's run AVG and anti-spyware scans but nothing has helped so far. Anyone got any ideas?

If you've got a recent system restore point that may be your best bet. If the virus is preventing you from restoring, use safe mode or create a new user account and use that to system restore.

Thanks, I'll get her to try it and see if that works- sounds like less hassle than having to reinstall Windows completely.
