Spyware Issues

[Stevie GooGs]

I have an old friend when i say old i mean he is old and he uses his computer to browse the web mostly.

He is constantly getting spyware that takes over his browser i have removed rootkits and then a month later there will be something else and so on.

I installed spybot, avg etc, however it still happens, is there anyway to actually prevent this instead of having to remove it all the time.

Put the paid for version of malwarebytes on it so its running realtime and updating itself.

Its less than £20 and is a one-off payment.
