Thanks for the pointers Dudelive. I guess that is all I can possibly do. I just know something is going to go wrong, and of course, I am going to have to be the one cleaning up the mess since it has always been this way - from spyware/adware, to virii - just can't win.
My parent's want him to take his education seriously since we noticed a decrease in his GPA in high school ever since someone introduced him to online poker. So they are wanting to do what they can to prevent him from using his new laptop for other means besides his education - believe me - I was on his side to install an IM client on his machine so he can chat with friends.
I've installed Adaware, SpywareBlaster, and Spybot on his machine to at least help protect his system from non-sense crap and installed a copy of Norton Antivirus on his machine. He knows the importance of security - but nothing will stop him from installing poker on that machine... He hasn't gotten his hands on the laptop yet for I am still working on it.
