My brother (almost 40 Years Old), is unable to keep his computer clean, and only when looking at the display pops an ad, or searching the web is impossible, is when he asks for help, by that time, the OS seems to be beyond saving, and has to be completely wiped out and reinstalled.
Stuff like fake antivirus and impossible to remove Chrome extensions (enterprise policy and stuff), are to be expected, along with thousands of other malwares and a bunch of trojans.
I can't think this is 100% his fault (but at least 80% IS), he's an accountant, and had multiple jobs where the employees and Bosses themselves had some funky business, reason why he's moving between jobs, and some of the techs seem to find their way to his laptop if he ever takes it with him, when he is suspicious of accounting stuff or his working equipment they've gone as far as disabling USB ports and stuff (in his enteprise provided Laptop, Lenovo Thinkpads with tons of security features)
I need some kind of solution to avoid this, as this is getting ridiculous, I don't know if he really loves his porn sites despite the fact he's getting malware over and over, but he's computer knowledge seems like that of a 3 year old, and is impossible to explain this kind of stuff to him, even when it all seems so natural to me, and try any kind of metaphors to try to explain the inner workings of this, he always find a way to take it on detour...
My brother is brilliant man and someone I look up to, but computers are not one of his strongest points, and I'm under the impression is the opposite, as it seems it is he's weakest.
Any help will be appreciated.
