I can tell you that since she moved away from Windows, I never had to clean up her computer. Under Windows, it was a monthly chore.

I am aware there are attack vectors than can be employed against her setup, but the odds of something that could affect her friends also affecting her are vanishingly small - and I have never observed one of those on the wild. Education plays a role too and I took the steps to show her what looks fishy. Her box is also behind a very paranoid router that will page me if anything fishy starts to happen on her side of the network. It was so silent I programmed a weekly "lamp test" so I know it's still watching.
