Speedy, there is a Help in the Avast. It should give all the information one would need to get started. It is long and takes some studying but I think it is thorough. I am sure after your friend studies it, everything will make sense. And of course you can help your friend too.
Four years ago when I got my computer I got a virus. I spent all night reading my virus Help. It was a nightmare because I had not looked at the Help before. The first thing I did when I got avast was head for the Help. I may not understand it all, but I became familiar with it so that when I did run into trouble I could refer to it.
I still may need help from the Support or Forum and I am sure your friend will find help here too.
So I suggest an evening at home with a good book...Avast Help
Oh, the pictures are right on the computer.
