Answer #1
If he uses it only for internet browsing, you might as well install a lightweight Linux distribution (Lubuntu, Puppy Linux, etc.) and breathe some life into it without worrying about malwares and viruses.
Else, Avira is an AV that is light on resources.
Answer #2
You should seriously advise your cousin to buy a new PC!
Must be a real junk if it’s from the nineties, Time for an upgrade I’d say.
Answer #3
eset smart security v3.0.669 or v4.2.71
and
tnod user & password finder v1.4.1.0

Answer #4
I would recommend Avast! internet security for his old computer.Avast is a light and powerful antivirus system wich can work with 64mb of ram and 200mhz of CPU only!
