What's an hour of your time worth? A very good second computer is only a few hundred bucks.

If the 14 year old can infect it a 14 year old can learn to un-infect it. (or learn real fast NOT to visit crappy websites.) I know most households have more than one TV.
I've also been to crappy websites, but unlike most kids I actually read the fine print before I download some silly stuff. I also read (and heed) what my virus protection asks me like "Are you sure you want to download this." a quick "yes" will see you in a world of hurt.....

You are on a steep learning curve..... as was I a few years ago..... I also run Symantec, have not had a problem in years.... Like Kyo said, keep it updated!
