I'm in the same situation and I limited the dead-scenario by keeping user accounts in the Users Group (and NOT Administrators).
Normally, a non-tech user, doesn't need any other things than Mail Client (sometimes, they even check emails thru the Web), Web Browser and Office suite.
As soon as you installed such Apps with YOUR SUPER-SECRET Administrator Account, keep them in the Users Group.
It's a feasible way: contract with them: "Do you prefer Virus or Administrator Account?".
The other way to speed up things is keeping an hard disk image of the last clean installation: with software like Clonezilla, you can restore PCs in a faster way.
Unfortunately, I'm looking for some videos to let my parents know what a malware is, how to avoid and so on...and I'm an Italian Guy: videos in such native language is harder
to find.
As a lot of people here in Italy, I'm both an Ham operator with Ham Licence (IW7DQB) and Professional Developer.
When Internet access was not so cheap, I tried to connect thru my 144Mhz-transceiver and an homebuilt packet radio modem...at the wonderful speed of 1200baud/2400baud...
Since then, both electronics and Computer science made my life more... happy.;)))
