he was browsing and said something like "It said to update my player, so I clicked on it"
Wild guess: Zlob "Media Codec". You go to watch a video. It looks like it's about to play, then wham! A dialog appears saying a new media codec is needed to play it. User, wanting to see the video, clicks Yes, and then is hit with desktop shortcuts, rogue security software, or other potentially unwanted software.
