Most likely,
just be careful
as to what websites you visit and things you download.

Always possible I guess, but i think more likely a problem with the display or graphics card driver. Boot to safe mode by pressing F8 on boot up and go into control panel, device manager and remove the grpahics card driver. Reboot and download an updated or same driver and install. Reboot once again and should be all systems go.

I used to have a virus where it deleted my shutdown buttons. But it wasn't really "virus" per se. It was just a batch file that had a script that said, "delete shutdown buttons" in computer programming format. I'm sure a virus like your friends' would just be a Batch file that merely has something that changes something with the monitor. Perhaps merely the contrast/lighting with the monitor is changed.

turn it on with the power button and or plug it firmly into the monitor itself and the plug in. if the button isn't green in the front though its not turned on,
