Funny, I thought we'd discussed this just days ago: 

ftp://ftp.bitdefender.com/pub/linux/free/LinuxDefender/

I would allow at least an hour for a full scan.  Delete as much temporary 
stuff as you can, IE cache files, temp directories, etc.

If your friend has a RoadRunner connection and is not running current 
Anti-Virus software and a firewall, please break his modem - for all our 
sakes.
