Had to wake up in the middle of the night, drive 60 miles, as my son got a Windows virus He had a term paper due the next morning, for his masters degree. Of course you can't download an upgrade to any antivirus program. as they know that you'll do that. So you have to use a CD, DVD or flash with a clean copy of the antivirus to clean the machine.
Mac & Linux may someday get viruses and will quickly take care of the problem. Windows is too busy trying to sell me Office Jan 2012, oh wait, Office Feb 2012, oh wait, Office March 2012....... oh wait, Office April 2012.
