I have a customer with registered avast on all PCs. It comes with bundled "software updater" that deals internally with SOME software (eg. adobe flash or some upgrades of firefox) without running the official installer. Comes quite easy to cope with, so perhaps parents could do some updates.
Otherwise, there is remote admin module as well.

I know caller ID is set by the originating call switch. As written above, I had to ask my operator to give me info on which operator runs the call switch that originated the call.

Sure, using single outcoming number for entire call center is of course legit. But cases of messing up with country or regional code in called ID, or spoofing numbers of other parties is not legal/gray area in some countries and could be noticed to the regulator body.

no, temporarily forward your number to the FTC. That should make them do something about US operators allowing spoofed CLID.

On my domestic (non-US) market, I remember only one incident of spooffed CLID. I asked my operator to check from which operator the call originated. I sent them polite email asking to consider preventing such incidents, otherwise the telco regulator will be informed. Did not occure again (so far).
