Odds are the vector of entry is Outlook, and he's playing catch with other people via email, passing around worms.

http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page explains how to install IE6 on Linux (pick your flavor, but Ubuntu seems most XP like for my family, yours might be different...) Use their script to install it, and use it for the IE required sites; everything else you can use Firefox for.

I think this is the best solution also for a couple of reasons.

The first is that Linux is inherently a bad host to Windows infections. Most of the things that the infection is trying to get hold don’t exist in this environment.

The other is that he can choose OTHER email agents that won’t get infected and run them under linux.

Summary - run IE6.0 under Wine on Linux for th MLS and run a native email client like Evolution or Thunderbird.

You’ve done all you can at that point to minimize the susceptibility to Windows infectious agents.
