The firewall issue sounds like a virus/malware issue. As mentioned, Spybot or Ad-Aware should help.

Another idea you might want to try is checking if that strange ip address is a local address (127.0.0.1 or 192.168.x.x). Maybe she accidentally turned on a proxy connection? I've done that in IE before and confused myself for a while.
