An acquaintance of mine has a virus (so they think) and wants to have someone have a look at it, any recommendations?

If they only "think" they have a virus, getting someone in to look at it could be expensive to find its something minor that could be fixed in 30secs.....

Why do they think they have a virus ?
Are they running up to date AV software ?

They downloaded something from facebook. IE no longer opens, niether does their AV.

They cant uninstall IE, to do a fresh install either.
