Instructing family members unfamiliar with software to do a hard shut-down is a good preventive measure. Clicking any of the choices presented to you in the Mal-ware's dialog box may cause the software to load on your machine.
Telling everyone in the household to immediately "press and hold" the main power button on the PC whenever the Mal-ware dialog box appears is thus far the only easy defense.
