Computers and Parents

Word to the wise:

If your parents are over…let’s say 50….and have a computer and are not very computer savvy, do yourself a favor now and the next time you’re over there download a popup blocker and Ad-aware for them. It will save you time in the long run. Also set up their system to automatically defrag once a month or so.

My Mom has been saying yes to all the popups that ask if she wants to block future popups. Her computer was loaded with spyware! All of the other seniors she’s been asking for advice didn’t seem to have a solution to why her system had slowed down so much.

S’better now! Gotta run - afternoon with the relatives!
