a friend of mine has 230 viruses on laptop but is not game to put credit info on line for fixit download - can anything be done apart from taking it to computer man?
Yes - your friend can download a free Virus program and a free Malware program and run them or - go to a store and buy a boxed package. Quite how he or she knows thare are 230 viruses on the laptop is a mystery given no virus software. It all sounds very odd.
