Not sure how ransomware installs without sudo access. Perhaps an adblocker would be advantageous and/or using the browser in incognito mode to cut down on storing cookies, history, etc. when visiting sites he's unsure about.
In addition to that, if he doesn't have sudo access, then he isn't able to run his own updates. He's somewhat at your mercy then. A non-updated PC, particularly one with an out of date browser, is an easier mark for ransomware like this. It might be worth giving him sudo access so he can update his own computer.
