Mac sent virus emails after torrent. What to do?

Question

I m a Windows man. I recently showed my friend how to download torrents and installed qbittorrent on her MacBook. After a few days she showed me a picture of a naked woman in a popup. Now two days later, she says that some people received spam virus emails sent from her email address. On a Windows computer I d know what to do. But she uses a MacBook Air, and I ve got no clue how to help...
