My Mates laptop
 
My mates got a laptop which has Xp and I think he's got a virus cos everytime he logs onto the internet he gets a wraning saying that his machine will close in 60 secs, then it does the count down and closes.

I remember a while ago there was a huge virus that did this to alot of PC's. Does anyone know how to fix this?
