Run adaware ( http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ ), right-click the shortcuts (icons) and see where the executable is (eg c:\windows\porn.exe) then delete this. It is very difficult to prevent these types of downloads. One could create an account on your PC for him with no privaleges to prevent such action in the future (create a guest account in Windows XP/2000 or use this for windows 9x: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.
