    There is a utility called Hotspot Shield. But if he/she didn't download it and install it herself then it should be treated as suspicious. I think it's freeware with a paid for version with more features available, see:

      Reading the link from Ian I get the impression that you actually rent the paid version and never actually own it outright while the freebie takes over your search engine and homepage. Neither way looks good to me.
