Okay so she randomly logged onto her mac today and her password didn't work so she went into instructions etc and it said to put the install disc 1 in and then hold "C" when the computer starts etc. Tried doing that but it just ends up back at the login screen, also tried the other way of booting a disc and that didn't work either.
What could be the problem which is stopping the disc from booting when I hold down "C" and I'm still confused on how her password could reset or whatever randomly :S

And yes, Macs can get viruses.
But to me, it just sounds like your not booting from the disk properly, because Macs don't use generic, easy to maintain hardware, I don't have a clue how to make it boot from disk, sorry.:8

I download torrents all the time and I never get viruses. You just need to look at the comments under where you download the .torrent file from to see if anyone says it has a virus. Originally Posted by Tom-Brown

Hi,
Try holding down the "alt option" key whilst it's booting up. I'm new to Macs myself, but that's how it works on my MacBook Pro at least.
Good luck.Best regards,
