This is a reasonable conclusion, if service on the engineer's laptop was OK. So the best thing would be to carry out some investigation on the state of your friend's PC, and let us know the results. Along with the previous poster's suggestions, you should check out the PC for the possible presence of worms/viruses, etc.
