[ale] OT: Win98 + Infections

Everytime I come to my parents house I have to clean crap off their
win98 machine.  All of it is adware. I'm using a D-Link firewall and
I do not think a firewall will solve this problem since most of 
this mess comes through port 80.  Is there a way?

One solution is to have 2 machines.  One for Win98 for their windows
stuff that is not connected to the internet.  The other running Linux
for browsing and such.  Or dual-boot may work?
