My mom is paranoid about dangers of the computer?

Q. Let's start from the beginning.5 years ago,my brother started getting his puberty feelings and started watching porn on his computer. He was hiding it,and me and my sisters got suspicious and looked at his computer one day and found out. We never told my mom,we were somewhat afraid since we knew my mom would kill him and probably us. He continued to watch and we continued to look at his computer daily. It wasn't until about a year and a half later he got caught. My mom figured out,and she talk to him. She never put a lock on his computer because she trusted him. So not a month later,we checked his computer and found more porn. Everyone was outside playing and he was inside,so we went to see what was holding him. More porn,this time he was beat and she put a lock on his computer,and me and my sisters kept checking his computer. Nothing. Just suspicious things like he tried to look up things that got blocked. She put a block on our computers too,and that's where MY life went screwed. I couldn't use Google,I wasn't allowed on many sites at the time. But at the time I wasn't a computer geek like I am now. A year after that,she took the block off his computer to see if he could be trusted once again. Me and my sister knew it was time to start watching him again,and not a week later,more porn.He got beat again and our parental locks were tighter. She keeps telling me to this day that since i'm male and i'm now a teen,I might become like him because of feelings and hormones or whatever. I told her i'd never be like him because i'm smart.So the parental locks have been tight for everyone ever since,my brother still gets in trouble for minor things like talking to girls online. Just in November 2012,he lied to two different grown women, saying he's 19,he has a car,he has a job,and some other bull. This boy now is 15 almost 16. My mom figured out because they got my house phone number,and called it,my mom picked up,and exposed him big time. She locked all of our computer even tighter afterwards. Now,he doesn't get into too much trouble but still hides many things that he'd get in serious trouble for. We share a phone but I don't let him touch it because of what he can do on it that will get me in trouble. My parental lock doesn't work and reinstalling it doesn't fix it,and my mom never put anything else to replace it. So i'm free to YouTube,Google,and whatever I please and she doesn't have a problem.

So onto why I'm asking this question. I became a big fan of video games,especially CoD,and spend most of my time on YouTube. So I recently became interested in starting my own YouTube gaming channel,maybe with my friend,who has just as much experience as I do. So I want to become like TheMediaCows,or Machinma,or Tobuscus or TobyGames,or someone like that with loads of subscribers and video views. So I need a HD PVR or Hauppauge,a good headset or mic,like Turtle Beach,or Blue Yeti or Blue Snowball. If I told my mom I'm into this stuff,she'd probably get mad and try and lock my computer or not trust me. I'm struggling to tell her that I want to because of what my brother's been doing over the past years. If she sees me on something on something she doesn't recognize,she'll get suspicious,and I have no intentions of doing what I brother did/does. As of now,I'm privately trying to build a YouTube channel,but I don't have a HD PVR,and if I try to buy one,she'll want to know why,or even what it is.

So how can I get my mother to trust me a little bit more,and to understand that I'm trying to do something productive and not anything immature like my brother?

A. THE BIG PROBLEM IS
.
Most those PORN sites are the prim location of getting a Virus
.
Not one that effects a human it is the ones that trash out a computer
.
And most those sites put a tracker cookie on the computer that can bog down it inter net connection speed to the speed of
.
36 kbs connection speed of 1995
.
I have seen some computers that were used as a porn site adventure machine that had to have a new hard drive put in it because of all the damage done buy those sites
.
OH - there are some out there that don't damage the machine but they are kind of like picking the winning LOTTERY number
