Out of curiosity, do you ever browse with your kids and keep teaching them what to click, what not and why? I assume that it can't make them completely safe, but it should eventually bring them near to it. If you're doing it, what's your experience with that and where do you think the malware is still coming from?

it comes, mostly, from the online game sites and other shiny honeypots for kids - google "X game" click top link - the game sites themselves override Chrome search bar and home page etc. - they click yes and put an email in to every single prompt to get to the game

it's completely and utterly broken
