What is likely happening is that the virus is loading on startup, and will infect any browser you install at that point (indeed, once there, Vundo will effectively disable any browser if not in safe mode).
It's best to ask a pro, unless you're very comfortable with things such as running diagnostic tools in safe mode or installing the Windows startup bypass utilities.

That is true and she may be able to get updates needed to get rid of the virus....I am just basing this on something I tried for a client which worked.
Worst comes to worse, she should back up all of her documents and if this is something infecting her boot sector, be prepared to have her system reformatted if all else fails.

So sad.
I went on a date with a guy about a year ago who started telling me about writing viruses as a hobby. He said when he gets mad at someone he doesn't tell them, he'll just send them a virus and hack into their computer server. And, when he talked about it, his face lit up. Yeah, that was out last date.

Yeah it happens...any flash video is a possible virus carrier...so if you don't have to, don't download it.
As far as your date....well...
Sidebar: Just as I thought it would...macs are starting to become prone to viruses...so don't think just cuz you have one, you are immune!
It was reported back in January that now may be a time to start beefing up security on your mac and part of the reason why some people are getting them??? Suprise surprise...downloading pirated software.
