There is no possible reason for you to do this. If anything, browsing
with Firefox is safer (and better) than with IE6. Aside from disabling
the usb ports, there is no way you can stop this behavior. I suggest
you have a talk with your grandson to discuss the underlying issues you
have with him and his user of your computer. If he is downloading
things you don't want onto your computer, this has nothing to do with
the browser he is using.
