Things to look out when your parents become grandparents with a computer. The grandkids!
These mini-hackers proceeded to load every game known to man on Grandpa's computer because their parents wouldn't let them load them on theirs. They proceed to really mess it up and I had to try and fix it from California.
Luckily I had installed PC Anywhere before I left last time and got into the computer and fixed most of the stuff.
I've tried to get the little rats to log onto the accounts I created especially for them but they still used Grandpa's admin account.
After Grandpa almost lost the emails from a real piece of business he had it wasn't so cute anymore. I had a little talk with the nephews and nieces and told them that if they didn't stop loading crap on Grandpa's computer I would have to tell their parents about all the porn they were surfing. That seemed to have solved the problem.
Now if I can just get my BIL to stop giving my Dad bootleg versions of MS products that can't be patched I could relax.
I also showed him some of the attacks he was getting on his cable modem just to prove the importance of a firewall.
