Block the particular sites and remove whatever you've gotten on your computer ASAP.

This is a neat trick that will prevent him from going on those sites. I doubt even a tech support person will be able to identify what's blocking the sites.
-Find which sites these viruses are coming from. Use the web history if you want..
-Go to start, then run. Type:
cmd
Then type this(use your drive letter if your windows drive isn't on C:):
notepad "C:windowssystem32driversetchosts"
Notepad will open. At the *very bottom, on a new line* of the file that is shown type the website he's getting the viruses from on the right, and 127.0.0.1 on the left. So if you don't want him to go to google, type this:
127.0.0.1 google.com
This will prevent him(and you) from accessing google. It will be hilarious! Don't include http: or www. before the domain you want to block, and make sure you *save* the notepad file when you're done. Then, for this to start working, go to start>run and type:
ipconfig /flushdns
It will now block the sites. Good luck!
(Note that changing the HOSTS file could make your internet stop working, if you make an entry like:
127.0.0.1 com
since eveything with a .com won't work anymore. Also, if you remove the:
127.0.0.1 localhost
entry that is there when you open it, some applications might not work)

Tell your brothers. Show them your protection thing and when they see it, tell them there will be no more computer if they keep playing these games. Hope this helped!

Is it your computer and only yours? If so, then put a password on it so they can't go on it. Then uninstall the games and run a virus scan on your computer to try and get rid of the problems.
If it's everyones computer, everyone shares, then you will have no right to delete the games. What you should do then is make sure you have a good virus/firewall blocker and run virus scans atleast once a week.
