oh that reminds me. my uncle swears up and down by norton being the best antivirus. he always complains his computer is slow, and my first suspicion is norton. i look up the processes, and norton is using 90% OF THE loving CPU USAGE. i silently removed it and put in malwarebytes. no problems ever since.

my parents are loving horrible with computers
my mom had to download this table software for her online college class and downloaded it through one of those sites that bundles a forgetton of junk with some ordinary software
she just went ahead and sped through the installation process, ended up with a computer that was damn near unusable because of all the malware

my mom was mad at me so she got on her laptop and started loving with all the settings and ruining Windows thinking that would somehow damage mine upstairs.

This is actually pretty funny

family's largely good with computers but my school's tech branch is comprised of the person teaching 7th graders how to use basic scratch
which really sucks because they apparently got a grant last year that got them to buy like 10 laptop carts
