Many people like to lump all Malware as a Virus. He could have a number of other infections a Virus scanner will not detect. Have him go here and run this free online scan and removal. The first link is for the complete scan (virus and spyware) and the second is for spyware only. I recommend doing both.

Possible that AV scanner not working properly/not updated- check latest virus definition dates.
Most likely spyware though- check this page for the best way to use several free scanners together to remove spyware and prevent further infection: http://www.better-spyware-removal.com/free-spyware-removers.html
Good Luck.

not sure why someone advised adaware as its not a anti-virus program.
but its a great anti-spyware program.
