This sounds like me and my father in law.

 

He fills his PC up with shit over the space of a year or 2 then I fix it. He's had variants of the XP Antispyware 2008 twice now. I've set Malwarebytes to run at startup but he still manages to get it.

 

Last time getting rid of of XP Antispyware 2008 did so much damage I ended up flattening the system and re-installing it.

 

I hate being family tech support :(

Sometimes the only thing you can do is wipe it and start fresh. The nasties are getting nastier!

You could just generally broadcast to the family, apropos nothing, that certain malware is associated with searching for pr0n. He might stop then.
