I'm like our main PC person, i have lectured my dad, he knew alot and i helped him on the path of becoming my fellow partner in crime, he plays Command & Conquer, red alert 2 and alot of old games because he's coolbro.
He thinks call of duty is a pile of stuff but he thinks battlefield is bro.

nu
I taught him the way of removing rogue antiviruses, he uses MalwareBytes but no live-scanner because he knows alot of anti-viruses are crap and as long as i'm there it takes 1-5 hours to disinfect a rogue PC which took over.
Steam actually saved me from a virus once, only way i could get on the internet was that way to use a link from steam (i always stay logged in)

we get a horrible internet connection at my house and my brother and i keep bugging my mom and dad to switch to another ISP
so they go out to get another router since that will apparently fix it

i also had to show my mom how to open a .doc on a .docx supported version of Word
also known as double clicking it

My mom wanted to know why her flash drive wasn't working, and I showed her how to manually open the flash drive's folder. While I was doing that (going through the computer files), she was yelling at me "STOP HACKING THE COMPUTERRRRRRRR" and when I finally got to the flash drive, she was like "oh, thanks, i knew that."

My mom's computer has an error...
Mom: ITS FROM YOUR GAMES YOU BROKE IT!
Me: I was playing Garry's Mod. It won't break it.
Mom: Garry's Mod is a virus then! It broke my computer!

I'm pretty sure Gmod isn't a virus.

Edit: This is my 666th post. :O
