Seems your friend may have spyware. Visit
http://www.safer-networking.org/ and download the spybot
search and destroy utility. Its free and it works.

Something's not right, that's for sure. Whether it's a virus, worm or
hijacker is hard to say.

A quick online check for adware, spyware, hijackers and other nasties:

Also there are links on the page leading to doxdesk.com, a site well-known
for documenting various parasites.
