Author Topic: How do you block downloads unless confirmed by a password?  (Read 579 times)

My mom has recently downloaded a whole bunch of stuff and now there is a bunch of crap software that is on my computer. I want to make a password dialog or something like that show up every time she attempts a download, that way I can modify what she downloads to not download the stuff, or stop her from downloading it at all.

what type of "stuff"

A lot of software can't be installed without administrator priviledges, so you could just make a non-admin account for her

Have you even tried to educate her why you don't download random stuff. DO that before you try to do something like this
and
what type of "stuff"

Is she downloading research mailware and viruses?

Is she downloading research?
that's the best type of stuff, the OP should keep it.
