What does he use for email? Does he use the web-based Hotmail or a web application based on Hotmail? There is a known issue where a web-based virus/spammer takes over the address book in Hotmail based accounts and sends out email to everyone in the address book.

I had this hit me and by the time I caught it, it went through my contact list 4 times.

Make sure his PC is up to date with Windows updates, virus updates and it is reccomended that email passwords get changed.
