ok so my little brother, is always downloading weird stuff on the family computer, hes always making our computer less secure, make it run slower, downloading really weird things, etc. i'm pretty sure the majority of things he downloads is to help him hack his little games he plays or cheat on the game. i get really mad because A. I have school stuff and pictures on here, and its annoying when we have to reboot the computer. B. I play this one game, and when the computer breaks, i lose everythng. C. the computer runs slowly, & thats no fun to deal with either.
We've already had to buy a new computer because of him. My parents don't really do anything about it, because they don't care, & plus he lies like crazy, and gets his way out of anything.
I want to be able to block this stuff, actually.. does anyone know if like whenever he goes to download something, a message type thing would pop up & he would have to enter a password? because that would be really helpful, so then i could check what he's downloading.
i've tried blocking the websites, but i don't know all the websites he goes on, and some of it is like websites other members of the family go on, and i think its bad, but its really not.
oh he has some of things on the desktop right now...rsbot, swift kit, MOD'S, riseq, rsclient.
if anyone knows if that stuff is bad, please tell me.
thank you for any help! (link)

Unfortunately, as long as he has access to your computer, he can download pretty much anything. You could block most of the sites, sure, but there are filters to get around that.
I do know that, "rsbot" is a common cheat in Runescape, it's a program called an "autobot" which earns you "money" in the game without actually "earning" it. It's a hacking program, and these programs are actually illegal. The likelihood of him getting into any legal trouble over it is slim, but depending on what other "cheats" he's downloading and for what, he could be putting you all at risk. Any script that illegally manipulates a website or a way a game functions is a felony, period. Not to mention, EVERY website you ever go to records your individual IP address.
These are definitely things to bring up with your parents. Because no matter how good of a liar he thinks he is, a simple google search of "rsbot" will tell you that what he is doing is fraudulent, even if it's childish.
