While cleaning the 'giftware' and 'trialware' off the Toshiba, consider:
1) Installing the new Microsoft Security Essentials rather than Avast- Avast is
anti-virus only; Security Essentials also offers anti-spyware and anti-rootkit,
and seems to take fewer system resources and takes-up less user time with
non-essential messages.

2) Installing Open Office rather than O2K... your brother will not notice the
difference- and it will be a legal installation (which may not be the case with
MS Office- though I don't know). Moreover, OO.o can open MS Office 2007 files
without any add-ons, which is not the case with MS O2K and can even open Word
Perfect files, should any such come your brother's way.
