It is necessary to create a virtual environment as you download malware.

Add VirtualBox or Vmware Player or at least Shadow Defender.

Add MalwareBytes because Adwcleaner is not enough.

Finally it is essential a backup plan with Windows tools or Paragon free 2014 B&R.

1) Consider adding Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or Emsisoft Emergency Kit. From my experience Avast is not the best in the AM department.
2) You should have a 2nd browser (Google Chrome, Opera etc.) as backup in case Firefox decided to go AWOL.
3) For extensions and plugins, consider adding: uBlock (blocks both ads and scripts, lightweight, no whitelist), Web of Trust (community rating for websites - treat it with a grain of salt), LastPass or KeePass (password manager), HTTPS Everywhere (forced encryption of connections - can break some contents, so be noted).
4) Always have a backup plan! Windows Backup, Macrium Reflect, Acronis True Image etc. a lot of choices out there. There are also cloud services if you are interested.
5) If you do visit phishing sites, do it in a sandboxed browser (Sandboxie) or virtual environment (Oracle VirtualBox) because phishing links can lead to malware as well.

Since its a multi-shared account, if the user just browse only then likely activate Guest account/limited account in order to notify you as Administrator for any execution of program.

A back up solution such Aomei Backupper or Macrium Reflect and if you do not have a portable hard drive you could use Aomei One Key back up solution. Might come in handy if you download malware.

It might just save a lot of stress. Thanks for sharing.
