I can only help on the computer stuff..
the "returned emails" are nearly always caused by someone else having a virus.. it picks a "from" email address from their address book, and tehn send teh virus out.. so someone has your address in their address book, and as such, the failed messages are bouncing to you.
Without more info on yoru friends problem I can't dianose whether it is a virus causing her problems, but..
This site is a free online scan.. get her to run this and it will tell her if she has a virus

Then, she MUST have virus protection.. AVG do a free version that is very good.. that can be found here..

Finally.. it could be Malware (spy ware, ad ware.. that kind of thing).. She can download AdAware to check for these problems here..
