1. Check if it's got Mcaffee, Norton Internet security or something similar running. If it has, uninstall them because they are shite and they always end up going wrong eventually. Put avast or AVG on instead.
2. Check Internet Explorer's options. It's unlikely to be the cause of this but check and reset them to default values anyway.
3. Stick Firefox on it and see what happens. If she already uses it, check the plugins.
4. Is she subscribed to some ISP's parental control service or similar? Try connecting through your ISP and see what happens. She might also have some program supplied by her ISP running which is blocking the sites.
5. If none of the above, back her stuff up and reinstall it. But I reckon it's going to be number 1 or 4 that's the problem
