Virus Question; not sure if posted or not....

I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, if it has, I'm sorry.

Someone that i've been talking with has been having a virus problem. it puts an away message up for her on AIM, that says something like "Pictures at the beach [link] :) " She said that Norton isn't removing it though, and it's bugging her as it comes up every few seconds at times.

Is there a different way to try and remove it?
