Hi a friend has brought me her computer which had mirar on it, this is now
removed and a scan shows that win 32 heur is present and also a trojan.
Currently I cannot get online as I think some ports have been blocked. Is
there an antivirus program that I can load into her PC that will defeat this
infection without the need to download update files?

Boot the computer using an Ubuntu live CD, and download the update files
using that. You can then reboot into Windows to make your updates without
going on line.

Download the Malicious File Removal Tool and AVG antivirus.

Mark.
