See if this works:

1. Start > Run.
2. %windir%\system32\gpeditmsc
3. Navigate to: User Config\Admin Templates\system\Prevent Access to Registry Editing Tools
4. Change to > Not Configured

Or maybe he can make a virus recovery CD from a friend (of a supported antivirus), boot from it and clean it. I don't know how successful this is, but it might work.
