Yeah, but you are a computer guy.
BTW, are you using Windows 7?
An average user can be sucked down the hole of malware easily and there is NOTHING you can do to stop it and still let a system be usable. I can call a web service and pass their uid/pw and you cannot prevent that from happening.

So much truth to this. I am the family “computer guy”. I have had to clean up so many friends and family computers because they have no idea how to keep them secure.
With my close relatives, I finally put them on non-admin accounts. They can’t install anything on their own computers. They have to call me. That has helped a lot. Even so, things periodically get through.
