Well probably if they are free softwares that don't have license's attached to them, but you could download avg free on her comp if that doesnt work

Use a free anti virus like Malwarebytes I think it is. Put the installer inside the USB, boot the infected computer in safe mode without network connections, then run the scan.

I don't know the severity of the virus but a virus scan may not fix your problem.

Yeah no prob. I forgot to say install the anti virus but I'm sure you already knew that.
