If he did something foolish that could have resulted in a compromise then the best defense is to reinstall.

Trojan detection is a very weak thing right now. It's basically like this: if you find one using a tool, you have one. But if you don't find one it doesn't mean much of anything at all.

If in doubt, reinstall.
what is your advice if he finds one..reinstall ? Where did you get your info that trojan detection is weak.
I spend all day, every day, doing information security at a professional level, and to do this correctly you need to be a student of the game. A popular point of discussion is the constant struggle between those who write trojans and those who try and detect them. It's widely accepted by those in the field that modern trojans are extraordinarily difficult to detect, and that if you suspect you may have one you should reinstall.

I grow tired of reminding you and others that there is a whole world of security outside the home PC environment, and that if you continue to approach things from this perspective alone you will remain ignorant. If you choose to ignore the big picture then that's fine by me, but please stop being surprised and/or defensive when I try and raise awareness.
