Read the manual. There are MANY focus options. You may have set it to follow focus.

Do you mean one of modes that applies in Live View, or AI Servo?

Set it to single shot focusing.

He's getting a confirmed focus through the viewfinder, so that's not the case.

If in doubt, set the camera back to factory defaults.

Worth a try, but I can't think of any function that changes a confirmed focus except AI Focus.

Sean, what's your "AF Operation" set to? (Page 103 in the 100D manual.) One-Shot, AI Focus, or AI Servo?

When "the image starts to blur", is the focus ring on the lens turning? Does it stop when you release the shutter button?
