I found the easiest way to avoid that is to create a "Limited" account
that's just for "Her"...  She has grasped the concept of logging in to
her own account... and when some "Infect the computer/network with the
virus of the day" tries to install because she invariably click on some
popup or other... its denied.

I've also got her stated learning how to use X.  She's learned how to
press the "Alt F7" to change to the GUI interface... log in to her
account... and then she's able to check her e-mail or browse the web to
her hearts content... I'll eventually ween her off the M$ stuff.  :)

I guess its also a good thing that she's completely computer illiterate
so her learning Linux isn't that hard to do.  :)
