FWIW and my last post here: simple answer: ur brother installs them; 
free this, free that, BUT u need to install this "small" app (usually 
malware as a trojan) and similar actions on The Net.

Possible solution in case u don't know:
- Turn off Windows Firewall (if u use it) and download 
personalfirewall.comodo.com (freeware, with and optional payed extended 
security) select Defense+ type install, don't install th Antivirus, let 
it install Safe Surf, configure The zones(intranets, DNS, etc. try to 
add the localhost (127.0.0.1) in the Stealth Ports Wizard to avoid too 
much asking from Security+). Is a great firewall, but don't take the 
word of a pirate for it, look for urself:

- Install Avast! Home Edition (freeware, for better protection u can buy 
the full ver.) here: 
http://download609.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html. Manual update 
can be download it here: http://files.avast.com/iavs4pro/vpsupd.exe

- Go here: http://www.vengine.com/ download it and install it. Checks 
authenticity of websites.

- Finally go to http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php download it 
and install it to run it manually in case of suspicious behavior from 
the PC.

Optionally: Clean & Secure ur Windows Registry:
- http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ donwload and 
install ERUNT (includes NTREGOPT), ERUNT secures by creating executable 
Registry Back-ups and NTREGOPT cleans it. U may want to add this to the 
command line parameters of ERUNT on the Startup Folder: /days:7 (default 
is 30) and redirect the back-up copies if u need to.

If all these doesn't work try to re-install Windows and apps, always the 
securest solution but not always best. Good luck.
