It looks like that PC is infected with Backdoor subseven or its variants.
You need to ask your friend to run an Online Antivirus scanner like HouseCall or Panda to detect and remove the virus and then after disnfecting the PC, install and update a good Antivirus Program and Firewall and follow Safe Computing practices to prevent such attacks.
