Did he go to a doctor?
Sorry, I couldn't resist the opening line... See if he has run Adaware SE, and Spybot. Perhaps there is spywares...it is a good starting point, at least. What is he using for anti-virus?

There is a file (actually it is the same file with many different names), usually a .asf video file, on WINMX that can be downloaded. When played contains a girls midsection. It is usually 68-69 Kb in size. To my knowledge it is not or does not contain a virus or spy/adware, but as always, it is best to avoid it if it is unknown.

To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.
