Are these viruses detectable and curable with a virus scanner such as AVG
Anti-virus?

Yes there are viruses with these sorts of symptoms. Which is also

with the problem following your friend -- presumably she tried opening

I have a friend who has been experiencing some problems with her version
of
Word. Apparently, it will let her open existing Word documents with no
trouble, but it will not let her edit those documents or type new
documents.
She tells me that the documents aren't set to "Read Only", which was
the
first thing I asked her to check.
It seems that the problem has occurred on two separate computers, and
the
only thing shared between the two has been a memory stick. The problem
"resolved itself" on one computer, but the other has not.
She is using Windows XP and the latest version of Word.
From the available information, both she and I speculate that the
problem
may be caused by a virus. Is this possible, and are there any known
viruses
with these symptoms?
If not, is anyone familiar with this problem, and can offer a solution?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.
