Why not just use the existing dial up connection? If the friend is from out of town you'd only have to change the phone number it dials.

scifi - to save time, consider downloading the antispyware titles ahead of time, along with anything else you want to install [such as AVG7 in case she either doesn't have antivirus, or the subscription has expired] - and burn these onto a CD-R disk. Might bring a copy of ZoneAlarm 4.5 too, if she doesn't have a firewall. And for a fast pre-emptive strike on the virus angle: you could run Stinger (it can knockout some of the most common virus infections) - just make a bootable floppy, and put stinger on it (write-protect the floppy before you place it in her computer). You execute stinger from the command line. You can download it from download.com, it's a free tool provided by McAfee. I generally don't recommend McAfee products, but this one works OK for emergencies.
This will save you a Lot of time, rather than depending on a dialup connection. Just a thought. . . . Gary |
