or http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ if you want to do a virus scan without installing anything... best install something if you haven't got 'owt though... although if it's a work laptop it should have something on already?

If it's a works laptop it will have a Virus scanner Marie, if it doesn't then it's their problem for rolling it out without correct software set.
Goto start->all programs and look for any of the following:
McAfee
Symantec
Kaspersky
Norton
F-Secure
Panda
Trend Micro
Sophos
Avast
NOD32
BitDefender
If you see any of those, obviously there will be provision for running a scan. Failing that use one of these online scanners:

Yeah they're hard to get rid of but hardly any of them are impossible to get rid of!
I've had the same OS on my PC for around 3 years now (XP Pro) and i've had my fair share of viruses, mainly from downloading 'Keygens' from fileshare applications and running the Executable, only to find it's actually malicious. Using the right tools you can track down where the virus is and what it's doing and put a stop to it..
Formatting a PC should be the last resort (unless you don't care about what's on your PC..)
VW ....
it easy way to do it
so you recomend if anyone ever gets a virus to reformat .... gr8 advice that lol !!
hopefully easy enough to get rid of Maz

I'll back you on that. Reformatting often - for whatever reason, is always a good thing to do. Work environments are different, but the longest time I've ever left my home PC without a reformat is 6 months. It takes 45mins to get the O/S up and running and then a further 90mins or so to reinstall stuff - depending on what I want.
Windows O/Ss are turd at disk management - even worse with the temporary folders. And then there's the failed installs, failed uninstalls, the CTD errors that have accumulated over time - all this crap just builds and builds.
Why arse about trying to clear and patch things up when starting afresh is usually quicker and far more beneficial at the end of it?

no it is not, you need to wear a jar of gypsy tears around your neck.
this will also protect you from AIDS!
I've had a to sort a few viruses on familys computers. They had several entries into the registry and each time I deleted them and restarted, the virus would still be there but with a slightly tweaked file name each time. I never fully stopped the random pop ups either. So I think in some cases a full reformat can be the best option! Especially when it's someone elses computer who may have multiple virus's.
