Scan for virus using internet

[PaulDesmond]

I have a friend who has a laptop with no anti-virus on it. He believes there is a virus on it. Are there any AV internet checkers that can scan and fix. I can sort him out with ab AV and a firewall but needs checking first.

TIA

Paul.

There are many out there... But the only one I know of is "Trend micro house call", this used to be a very good av.... But I'm not sure these days. Whenever I've used it, it has always helped me out and fixed the issues. So it's worth a shot

It'll download an installer and scan the system through it

Start with something like malwarebytes.

Yes I am going to put Malwarebytes and zone alarm on. I use Avast AV and it has worked for me also.
