However, I'd install:

NOD32
Spybot
Malware Bytes and Hijackthis - post the log of HJT here and Speedy will peruse it for you.

+1 or use MSE if you don't want to pay for NOD32

What makes your friend think there is a keylogger? the tools mentioned do a pretty good job and should be enough but the only way for for an average user to be absolutely sure is to format the hard drive and re-install windows. Extreme yes but some malware gets it's hooks in so deep it requires expert surgery to remove.

Even the experts sometimes resort to this, hunting through windows registry etc trying to find traces of malware is not for the amateur or faint of heart.

I'm sure many people could relate stories of antivirus software/ anti malware software finding / "removing" the same malicious files repeatedly because something else keeps putting it back.

If it finds anything, note down the location and virus name so you can look them up and find out what you're dealing with.
