My advice would be that you tell your cousin to stop visiting so much porn websites.
Also, if he uses firefox, tell him to install adblockplus and noscript. Since i installed those two addons, i virtually have no spyware or tracking cookies, well, that is according to the spyware/malware scanners i use.
no way! hard core addicts can't handle the withdrawl symptoms, and if he does what will porn stars do for a living?
Hes better off just using anti malware

dont ban me just spank me
So, I was at my cousin yesterday. I start the computer and I notice his CPU is allready 100%. I open task manager and I see strange process, which is a virus or trojan. I try to "kill" it but it only gets wors. And I can't get online, like something is bloking it. So I go into safe mode and I start with MalwareBytes. Finds 45 viruses and trojans. I clean it but still nothing changes. I can't get on the internet. So I install Comodo. And for some strange reason it won't scan the system, says some kind of error. So I install Avira, and scan but find's nothing new. Then I see that his "local area network" icon is on desktop. I click it but nothing happens. I go into control panel, network settings and he has nothing there. So I try to make a new network connection but nothing happens. I go through the wizard but it doesn't make one. Strange. I was allready lost there. I check under device manager for Network Adapters and he has a bunch of yellow singns on it. I try to uninstall them but it won't let me. So can it be possible that his network card is fried?

Too much of work and I don't fell like it.
starforce what's that?
i would reinstall windows,make partitions for OS and apps,games,media and documents,install anti virus and firewall and next time if you maybe get big problems you can easily reinstall windows and keep all other data
Only if the other data are not infected
As said, once your security is compromised, only real sollution is windows reinstallation.
Backup data to other disk/partition, format and don't put anything back untill scanned from newly upped system.
It's not a lot of work, it used to be, now it's a breeze.
