FFS then, teach her the hard way.

Back up the docs, including hers, but back up hers to separate CD and HIDE THEM.

Then wipe the PC and restore everything apart from her stuff, and tell her you "forgot" to back them up, and tell her if she keeps clicking yes then you'll have to keep wiping it and every time you'll lose all your stuff...

She'll learn not to click yes, if you sell it as such a bad thing, like she'll get all her money/identity stolen by these programs, data loss, etc- sell her the worst case scenario, will put her off. Trouble with most 14 y/os is that they THINK they know everything.
