A buddy of mine seems to have caught a virus that is sending an e-mail to his entire contact list pointing people at a single link. I've recieved two separate e-mails from him, each with one of the following links inside of it.

WARNING: The following links are malicious "attack" pages:

Code: 
http://sbbrebbia.it/wp-content/plugins/mndhvf.php?zmna=zmna
and

Code:

FYI, he uses Yahoo. If anyone has any solutions, I'd like to point him in the right direction. Thanks.

Tell him to change his password.

Okay, and is that precautionary or do you know if this kind of attack is aimed specifically at exploiting a known password?

The password has been compromised. Could be a virus infection on their main PC or it could be one of a hundred different pcs that they used to check mail recently.

First step change the password. Then run a virus scan.
 
I got such kind of mails from a friend too. He used to login from Internet cafes with probably virus infected systems. Changing the password is the solution and then running a virus scan on the system using Kaspersky or Nod32.
 
All of the above, plus use revo uninstaller to uninstall any recent programs or files, also give system a good clean with cc cleaner.
 
I think his system has malware because Chrome flagged the second website so tell him to follow these steps.

1. Download "Comodo Cleaning Essentials"
2. Run Comodo and do the full scan.
3. Once that is done download anti-virus software if he doesn't have any. (AVG Free or Avast are good)
4. Change all passwords.

OR

Re-install Windows if possible

OR Backup important files & install a Linux based OS like Ubuntu or Elementary
