Check out this web page and a program called Back Orifice.

It is a backdoor program that can be used to hack your friend's computer as
you have described in your anandtech.com post. its pretty easy to find and
get rid of without formatting.

I am at work right now and they filter that web site so I cannot get more
detailed info for you right now.

Sounds like he/she is attempting to help?

Possibly, but then why provide a link to BackOrifice?

They also say "its pretty easy to find and get rid of without formatting."
It sounds like they are giving you info on the program and how to get rid of it.
