Aloha,
That is indeed good news, my guess is your friends son got a pop up from Comodo, whatever the pop up was he chose the wrong answer.

If this computer is going to be used not just by yourself, but others, you`ll need to password protect your account, you can do this by going into your account and setting up a password. Be careful of what password you use, make sure you and only you, knows what it is, also keep a back up somewhere safe(written on a piece of paper).
You`ll also need to set up limited user accounts, as a limited user they cannot make changes to the system(only admin can), as to limit problems like this from re-occurring.
These tutorial in the links below will guide you along the way.
