*Pats Firefox* The amount of adware on my computer got reduced by a huge amount since I started using it. I'm very overprotective of my computer now because I've had a few bad scares in the past (sounds like I'm talking about a kid or something

Same here. When I have a child, I bet you when I take them to the doctor I'll say, "Can you scan her for viruses?"

Ok, this is more of a rant than a story...
My dad is the worlds biggest jerk when it comes to the computer. First off, he blames ME when we get spyware/adware because he couldn't possibly have gone to a site with it. Then, he won't let me get a new browser, makes me use IE and then blames me when it allows popups with adware (I recently have been using Mozilla Firefox, contrary to his knowlege. This has cut down a bit). Then, he gets mad at me for downloading a spyware scanner, then turns around and downloads one himself. I swear, as soon as I get enough money, I'm getting my own bloody computer...
I'm going through the same, except for it's with my brother. Just stop using the computer for a week, and let him know. When the computer goes wacko because of him, maybe he'll get the idea. If he doesn't, just try not to explode. I've exploded many a time due to my brothers ignorance towards the computer, and it's only made things worse.
