do the windows have the title "Messenger Service" ?

If so your friend is being spammed with the until-recently overlooked windows Net Send 'functionality', this can be disabled by running "Services" from the control panel and finding and disabling the "Messenger" (make sure its disabled from launching at startup too) service, or typing 'net stop messenger' in command prompt.

Your friend may have also installed a browser hijacker, which could pop up any number of nasty javascript windows or popups.

Edit: Eye Speel Godd. :P
