Make sure that they have anti-virus software that is updated DAILY and make sure that they have a firewall.

If you need any further help do not hesitate to ask, there are many great people here that will line up to give assistance.

Yes thanks for the help, Ive sent my sis an email about reg protect and have downloaded it myself. Feels safer having realtime reg protection.
My sis used to use the XP firewall, which as you know is crap, they have now installed a Phoenix firewall, against my advice of zonealarm. :rolleyes:
I think Hijackthis is a great program but it's best after you've been infected.

Now that my sis's computer is back to factory settings, she has lost some files like photos etc. Is there someway to get them back like with a file restore program or has the reinstall written over them???
