This type of virus is likely some bad software (malware) that is living on their machine, using their email server to send SPAM to everyone in their email address list. Since it's an "inside job", if they change their email password, the virus can get the newly updated password the same place it got it when it wormed-itself into place (probably after the victim got tricked into running the malware-installer program).
Chances are that they'll need a high-powered anti-virus program, like from Norton or Kaspersky, to detect and remove it.
