Viruses and the death of DH's lappy

[SamaraGugler]

DH has an old laptop that he only plays poker and listens to his HUGE collection of music on.

Yesterday he brought it down to me saying something was wrong. OMG, is something wrong!!!

He got some terrible virus which opens up p*rn and viagra ads, CONSTANTLY. You shut one, and another opens up. In addition, it disabled ALL of his virus protection and won't allow me to install AVG or run and of the ones already installed. It's bad.

The lappy is about 6 years old and I told him, it's toast. About 2 years ago my desktop got hit pretty bad and it cost me nearly $200 to fix. I said, it's just not worth it to fix this one.

I pulled off his collection of music. Just scanned it on my computer and it seems safe. Any idea where I should look to replace his lappy. Seriously, he ONLY plays poker, checks his email, and checks the news. That's it. I found an acer for $399. I'm not even opposed to buying him a used lappy. Any of you have an old one??
