Using google.pl with Ad-Block turned on for Google Chrome. When I google 7zip, I only get the Polish version of 7zip's site (7-zip.org.pl) and then the global official site (7-zip.org). Looks like it's some sort of adware/malware that your friend accidentally downloaded due to the ad0laden link looking very much like the real thing.
I would recommend that he uninstall the program completely using the Add/Remove Programs item in the Control Panel and then running CCleaner on top of that to remove any registry links left behind by the program...and run a quick virus scan on top of that :D
