Sounds bad! Maybe he caught the conficker virus? I figure the virus doesn't allow internet access either? Otherwise you could try Trendmicro Housecall...

Do you have a CD with the operating system on it you could boot from? Or one from a virus protection company? It might be worth going to Best Buy or Radio Shack and buying an anti-virus program that you can start up from to try and disinfect your machine. Try Norton ... or maybe Symantec

Conficker does not make itself know as obviously as whatever this is. Like others have said, go out and get a bootable anti-virus program, boot that, and see what happens. But, are you sure this is a virus? It might be a Windows bug that has somehow been overlooked.
