Sorry if you dont know whats going on because I really dont either.

If she has a good antivirus program it will probably take care of the problem, since it did notify her of it. Since you didn't say the name of the antivirus that she is using, we'll just assume it is adequate for now.



You also didn't say anything about any pop ups trying to get her to download anything, so let's assume it's not a trojan infection for now.



If her antivirus asks her what to do with the infected files, tell her the first thing she wants to do is have it ''heal'' them. If it says they can't be healed, tell her to have it put them in the virus vault, or chest, or whatever her antivirus calls its quarantine.



If her antivirus doesn't fix the problem at all, have her exit all running programs then run the following online virus scans, which fix what they find for free:
