Default Online Virus Checker

My mate is convinced she has a virus on her laptop. She uses Norton 360 which is up to date and a scan has been done and no virus come up.

I don't believe she has one but to put her mind at rest can someone recommend me an online checker?

What about running a spyware / adaware programme ?? use Spybot search and destroy myself after reading a lot off good reviews on both here and the net in general.

almost sure that will get rid off the problem as its almost certainly a false warning just trying to get you into visiting the pop up link and purchasing there software.
