Angry Fire AIM Virus

My Friend said he needed a virus scan program, so i asked him for what. He said an "AIM Virus". Then i asked him what it did, he said " i think it just messes up the AIM profile, i didnt download it so i only got some of it".

Where can he get a Virus Scan for Free, or how can he fix this?
