How does he think people are using his computer? Does he already have some kind of remote control software installed?

Windows XP has remote desktop software standard installed.

flap:
So why doesn't he turn it off? Or install a firewall?

I'm being paid here; mine is not to ask why, but merely to do what the customer wants.  Again, he's a tad on the paranoid side (read: "even if I have a firewall, they can still hack me") and no amount of rhetoric has convinced him otherwise.

If I were you I wouldn't encourage him. And surely installing VNC is only going to make it less secure, if anything. Even if he has a keylogger installed he can't trust the information it's reporting if he thinks his machine has been compromised.

If he thinks he can be hacked while running a firewall that blocks all incoming connections then tell him the only way to secure it absolutely is to disconnect his machine from the internet.
