He goes to flickr a lot and looks a porno pictures people post. I don't know if that's why I keep getting error messages on my computer, but it worked fine before he started that stuff.
My question is that I sign on and off and I'm the main user. He can sign on for his stuff. Everytime I have trouble on my side after signing on, I get those error messages and my computer runs slow. I tell him and he said his side runs great. Is it possible that what he does on his side will only affect my side only?

It's possible he's lying because he doesn't want to take the blame and have you insist on him giving up his porn. Lots of porn sites are also likely to give viruses. People use porn to hook people in so they can virus them. More likely that his user will run badly than only yours.



Use this to clean up ('cause it sounds like you need to):

And tell him he's to use Firefox and NoScript and AdBlock Plus and the WOT advisor:

That should at least keep the trouble down.



And also bookmark this page:

That's great for if you get something and know what the name of it is. They have guides there for removing quite a few things. There's a search box partway down on the right.
