I had the same problem on XP pro, I believe the virus/worm was called CWS and rewote a registery file that is attached to Internet Explorer 6.
About the reinstallation I mean just removing IE6 and downloading it from the microsoft site with all the latest patches (its free).
You also try downloading Firefox and sending a copy over to him to install via MSN and once installed see if he can get on the web that way, if so then your IE is fooked and you need to uninstall it.
