CPU virus question

MiamiE · 01-31-2011, 09:11 PM

I think I may have a virus on my CPU. It only manifests itself on my wife's login and not on mine. Any ideas as to what this could be? Her IE doesnt work, when opened it says Windows Explorer is infected and gives options to buy an Antivirus software, which is obviously bogus. Why is my user fine and hers infected?

I also cant open anything on her side without a security alert showing up saying the file is corrupted. Any ideas? We dont have an anti-virus software.
