My dad made the brilliant idea of installing norton and internet explorer on our new desktop. he claims the sales guy who said he's a computer expert says internet explorer and norton are far superior to chrome and microsoft security essentials, and that i shouldnt remove them from the computer. im still mad at him for refusing to listen to reason.
even my sister is mad at me for trying to put chrome on the computer. she says im "breaking the internet" and that internet explorer is better. when i ask her why she always replies with "just because" and when i try to explain why she's wrong she just plugs her ears and goes "lalala i cant hear you" or sarcastically says "thats great" or "cool" "awesome". my family members can just be so stubborn at times.

Internet Explorer AND Norton and your computer still functions properly? The salesman is more than likely a commissioned affiliate with Norton / Microsoft.
Edit:
Google needs to make an anti-virus.

he is really slow when doing stuff on the computer, but not as bad as my mom. she doesn't even know how to use the back button on the internet browser, and she's lost countless job opportunities sent to her because she doesn't know how to use email. she can't adapt to modern technology, she's paying the price.
my sister on the other hand, she just spends her entire day on her trusty $2,000 macbook pro looking up videos of trampoline accidents and cute cat pictures and listening to one direction/justin beiber on itunes. she only discovered rickroll about 6 months ago and overly attached girlfriend last week.

i'm sure he only did it because microsoft security essentials is free and norton costs like $50 when he sold it to my dad, he just wanted my dad to buy more stuff. but nope. nobody ever listens to me in my household. we once had a huge virus attack on our last desktop, and before it broke, our internet explorer toolbars and tabs took up a quarter of the screen.
