pc acting strangely

Not sure where to ask this question? My wife teaches some computer classes at
a school. She has a student that ocassionally has dental work and has xrays
and takes some medicine. When he comes back to school and sets at his
computer with out touching the pc it starts opening file and you have screen
upon screen. This clears up after several days. She has had him clean out his
pockets to make she he didn't have anything causing the problem. Has anyone
heard of anything like this happening and if so have you heard or read any
articles concerning this?

I doubt it has anything to do with him sitting there....it is most likely a
virus/trojan or spyware. Does the same thing occur when someone else uses the
computer, or is this person the only one who uses it?

Not relevant....there are many ways to get malware on computer besides being on the
Internet. Is it on a network connected to other computers? Does it have a floppy
drive? These are also among the avenues for getting malware.

Are there others in the classroom? If so maybe he has a friend with a remote
