http://www.sarc.com is your best bet. You can get removal tools from there.

SARC stingers are free. You can get free firewalls and AV as well, and until M$ decide what they're doing about XPSP2, your updates will remain free, too!

If you didn't have a virus scanner, how did you know what virus's you'd got?

Need to keep your definitions up to date, otherwise your AV is useless

If this is the case it could be that you aren't infected and that the emails supposedly from you are actually spoofing your email address to appear like they are from you.

Try an online virus scan to check such as housecall from Trend micro to check:

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Then make sure your virus scanner is fully up to date.

This is what I was getting at when I asked how he knew he had a virus. I figured it was spoofed e-mails that scared him.

The next person in work who puts a helpdesk through for spoof e-mails saying, "OMG!!! VIRUS!!!! HELP, my mahcine is exploded!!", will die a slow and painfull death ;)
