troubleshooting infected emails

My friend believes he might be sending infected Internet e-mails. My friend's
internet e-mail recipients have detected viruses being sent from him. He has
available virus protection software installed on his Windows 98 computer.
There are 2 networked office computers, about 2 years old. The computer that
is suspected to be infected is the only one connected to the Internet. Can I
have a detailed list of the steps I should take to correct this problem and
to keep the problem from recurring.

have you updated and run a full virus scan of the system ?

have you run any malware removers? (spybot S&D , Adaware , spywareblaster)

No I did not. Thanks for the help.
