Computer guru to the rescue

My wifes nephew came over the other night with his new laptop. He just wanted to learn how to burn photos onto DVD. He has a Sony Vaio with all the bells and whistles. I noticed while we were burning the photos, that his new computer was running a lot slower than my old desktop. I did some probing around and found that he didn't have any active anti-virus software installed or running on his system. We hooked up to my signal wirelessly and I downloaded and installed a few antivirus/spyware checkers. I ran all the checks and by the time I was done, the software had found 147 threats to his system! Here are the links to the software I used in case you too are in need.
Antivir
Adaware
Spybot
