Hey,
I got a Q !
My brother is installing P2P programms all the day, and downloading useless
things, my monthly traffic(Telenet in Belgium) is @ 80%, and now he wants to
download a movie, i delete it, my father tells him to stop it he doesnt
listen.

Well, my Q is, how can i block all P2P's(KaZaA & iMesh & BearShare) ?

I want to let him stay an Administrator @ PC.

Is it possible ?

Oops sorry for the spelling....."protecting"... but you get my gist.
How else is he going to learn?
You also might want to install something like McAfee Privacy Service that
can restrict users abilities.
Good luck!

With all that P2P software the chances of being infected is *extremely* high.

Please perform the following then.... password protect the PC !

If the kid does not listen, he should not use the PC.

1) Download the following three items...

Trend Sysclean Package
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

Latest Trend signature files.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

Adaware SE (personal free version)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")

Download sysclean.com and place it in that directory.
Dowload the signature files (pattern files) by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt228.zip

Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
sysclean.com.

2) Update Adware with the latest definitions.
3) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDoc...SysRestore.htm
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
5) Using both the Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware, perform a Full Scan of your
platform and clean/delete any infectors/parasites found.
(a few cycles may be needed)
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using both the
Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware
7) If you are using WinME or WinXP,Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
8) Reboot your PC.
9) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point

You can also try some of the below online scanners.

Trend:
http://housecall.antivirus.com
http://housecall.trendmicro.com

F-Secure:
http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml

McAfee:
http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp

Panda:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/

Kaspersky:
http://www.kaspersky.com/de/scanforvirus

Symantec:

BitDefender

Freedom Online scanner
