what is this? real thing or virus/spyware/trojan/something ?

my friend says this thing pops up, and tells him to goto this site
http://patchupdate.info/

and to download, and install it and stuff...

how does he get rid of it? i suggested he use asquared..but he says its still popping up..

What browser is he using? I am guessing IE?

I would suggest Getting ZoneAlarm Pro, using it to scan for Spywayre, then getting Avira AntiVir and scanning for Virii/Trojans.

Also, if he is using IE, tell him to switch to Opers or FireFox.
