Is it possible that the box is owned? 

Check for any suspicious processes using http://sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml

It's possible that he has a trojan/backdoor/keylogger. Has he scanned his machine lately? Use an online scan tool - 
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ . Don't trust the one on the local host. Especially if it isn't current.

It may be too late. No telling what executables have been replaced with what backdoor programs. A sniffer might help, 
but at this point, I'd rebuild the machine. What operating system is it running?

script kiddie could have used netcat to hide the executable/process as another service running on another port.

it's possible that somebody there in the office is sniffing the subnet. Wouldn't be difficult to do, especially if they 
were not on a switched network. finding Windows boxes that are in promiscuous mode is really tough. Ettercap will do a 
at best effor to identify these devices. If aol is like any of the others - hotmail or yahoo most of the stuff is 
easily captured over the wire with a good sniffer.

scary....hope this helps.

Have a buddy complaining about his AOL account password being stolen every time he logs onto AOL from his PC at work.  
I talked him through doing an fport on his box and he sent me the results:

I'm really concerned with the last one:

I've found some things on the net that say it's legit, I've found others that say it's indicative of a backdoor.  I 
ran fport on my box and did not have any entries like that.  Does anyone have any information on this?  Are there 
other entries that attract anyone else's attention?

Your help is appreciated.
