Unless it's a really powerful virus (which I doubt, and never have seen before), it will not start up. Type in "run..." "msconfig" and look at tab "Start Up". You will see a lot of processes there, all the programs which start up when you start your computer up normally. Look for suspicious programs, or random names (****** it?) and delete the entries out of the startup folder/registry/just untick the box over there if you're not sure. This will prevent the virus from starting up. Look where the location of that .exe file is. Go to that location and scan the folder. This will likely get rid of most of the stuff. Then, run a full OFFLINE computer scan. DISABLE your internet and scan with an internal antivirus (he should have one then). This will likely delete the virus completely. However, to be sure, also scan your computer using Spybot S&D (I always turn my internet off each time I start a scan). This should find corrupt entries, changed browser settings etc. To be 100% sure, I then start my computer up normally and run 2 online virus scans: NOD32 http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ and Microsoft's Security Essentials scan (look it up on ****** - don't do this scan if you have already scanned it with a full version, that'd be pointless). I'm using free AVG, had a lot of viruses before, got rid of all of them without formatting or deleting anything. Currently running a legit Windows 7 and didn't have any viruses in years. Watch out for what you're downloading and you should be safe. I once had a virus because I attempted downloading a video. I downloaded "video.exe" without thinking about it et voila, I had a virus.

I used to do exactly the same thing and it worked pretty well so do this and you'll be good.
