[access-uk] Advice on maintaining other people's machines

Hi all,
I went to do some maintenance yesterday at my friend's house using her laptop running XP Home. I uninstalled everything, including her antivirus, and didn't realize that her DVD drive wasn't working properly till too late. So I've now left her without an antivirus, but managed to get her some antispyware protection. What do you all think of me checking stuff out before doing any such maintenance? I didn't know this should have been done before anything else till tonight. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated. I just hope she manages to find at least AVG 7.5 Free as she's still using JAWS 8. Thanks in advance!
