oh wait I nearly forgot
I have this friend who got a laptop about a year ago. He knows nearly nothing about computers. He still said the laptop was pretty good, though. The laptop had Windows 8, and it was made by Asus. I went over to his house about a week after he bought it. He powered it on and-
holy forget
There was probably every virus possibly imaginable on that beautiful laptop. It was like taking an ice cream cone, then taking a big lumpy stuff all over it. He opened up Chrome, and every letter inputted into the keyboard took about 6 seconds to register. He had Search Protect on it, some adware, and about 5 fake anti-viruses. So, I started removing all the viruses for him. That stuff took way too long, because it took about 5 minutes to load up the Malwarebytes page. Eventually, it all got removed.
Then he got infected again.
And again.
And again.
I found it a little strange, and I went into his search history without him looking. The source was all these weird Japanese research websites. I realized that there is no point in cleaning it anymore, so now he will have a weird research-infested laptop.
At least his laptop played games pretty good.
