If they want to install anything, they have to call me. This is a little investment, since the time to repair a virus infested PC would be a lot more. Furthermore, I can control how much time they spend on the computer, since I am the only one who knows their account password. One last thing: OpenDNS (or similar) with adult filters and they can navigate the Internet all by themselves! An up to date antivirus will do the rest (a free one is good enough)Giorgiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388314697928859816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-71174644507937947062009-03-11T14:45:00.000-05:002009-03-11T14:45:00.000-05:00Hope you get your 'puter fixed soon!

My husband, who knows about such things, runs lots of virus scans and updates everything all the time. Personally, I wouldn't know where to start. <BR/><BR/>I hope you and your computer feel better soon!angela recadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171018304392191669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-6687193407275278152009-03-10T09:51:00.000-05:002009-03-10T09:51:00.000-05:00That does stink.
