Recommending a filemon and regmon are both good ideas
what result did they come up with

u could also try using trillian as a irc client
to see if it is a problem with his version of mirc

also install a winsock tracer on mirc
and see what results that gives

get a good but very obscure firewall and get it to ask weather to allow
each connection

get rid of msn client and use trillian if u want use msn

get ur friend to access the internet while he has a fake ip
eg 192.168.0.1
that way nobody can connect to him if he is running a trojan

get a good trojan scanner

get an intrusion detection system

the P+P exploit u are refering to is the
Universal plug and Play bufferoverflow

not all versions of windows are affected
look up this exploit to find out what version are affected
win95 & win98 by default is not affected
though can be by installing the Universal plug and Play system
