    alright are you old enough where he wouldn't be mad at you for looking at those sites? and if you are then the best course would be to just give him the sites that are safe

    Well....What you can do is download NetNanny or something and add exceptions to the safe ones.

    ..well, if you object to the harm the websites inflict as opposed to the images, CounterSpy and Spy Sweeper may be worth a look. Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot Search & Destroy as well as HijackThis are all free, so maybe you can use those to.

    well, if you can't stop it, at least slow it down. reformatting the hard drive so much will wear it down and break it. heres what you do, go get these programs(i have these and i never got an infection once):

    1) comodo firewall 3 (disable the defence+ and down get any other extra stuff besides the firewall when installing)

    2) avg free 7.5 (its a good antivirus that doesn't use alot of resources but, recently today when i was updating with avg, it was the first time it gave me a pop up to get the new avg 8 that was just released and not free)

    3) avira antivira (a extremely good antivirus program, it caught all of the viruses in my cousin's trojan infested laptop but when it updates, it gives an ad to get the paid edition, which is bare-able, its free and its like the full version <to make sure you get maximum protection, you go to the expert configurations section and set the heurtics to highest and make sure it scans every file and all but you can leave the scanning priority to normal>)

    4) spybot search and destroy (spyware killer, very nice and useful, you need to manually update this program yourself every week and then after updating, you go to the immunization section and press immunize for the protection.)

    all this may actually look like its a lot and will slow your computer a lot but, i'll tell you this though, i used norton before and it claimed it covered all areas but, so what? it slowed down my computer so much that it took a few minutes to finally stablize. with all these smaller and specialized programs, i don't recieve as much lag and boots up in less than 20 seconds.

    think of this as well, you have one big single core pentium, it can never be as good as a dual core processor no matter how fast and specialized it may be, same with protection, claiming to cover it all doesn't mean anything if its unresponsive, slow and inefficient.

    Install SiteAdvisor.

    And tell your dad not to go on the istes that are marked with X in google or yahoo...
    That should fix the problem and you don't even have to mention porn.:good:

    Yours destroy viruses AFTER they infect your computer, but with SiteAdvisor you won't even go on the sites that have viruses and malware.
