Does the service install adware, or anything annoying like that? Is it unreliable? The service would not need to include email service. I suppose he would just continue to use Hotmail or Yahoo.

I suppose that your daughter wasn't stuck with any intrusive adware that wouldn't uninstall. If she was, I wouldn't advise my friend to try it.
