If your dad has been frequenting porn sites then I would suggest a virus, spyware, adware and malware scan is done daily as those sites are known to be a huge source of hidden extras.
You can also use the hosts file
here to help block the problem of sites dropping ads etc in the background.
Host file zip
Quote:
This download includes a simple batch file (mvps.bat) that will rename the existing HOSTS file to HOSTS.MVP then copy the included updated HOSTS file to the proper location. For more information please see the readme.txt included in the download.
When you run the (mvps.bat) batch file XP users may see a prompt, simply click Run and continue. Once updated you should see another prompt that the task was completed. Some users may see a pop-up from certain Security programs about changes to the HOSTS file. Allow the change ... however if you see this pop-up at any other time ... investigate.
