I have Windows, too! But I run it in its own partition on my Mac.

Whenever I have to use it on the web, I feel so ... vulnerable. You and Susan both have my sympathy.

"[GM]Dave>> Do you have Windows?
Susan>> Yeah.
[GM]Dave>> Open the nearest and place the computer outside.
[GM]Dave>> It'll be safe now."

A bit late, but I just had to say that windows line was classic. It's being able to come up with lines like that on a regular basis that makes me jealous of you, Dave. Once every few weeks I may come out with a line like that, but that's it.

I love to write, anything, comedy, drama, fantasy, etc. I really do. So why is it always like pulling teeth...? :(

See what I did there? Eat a bardiche.

To Abe:

Yes, because obviously since I only talked of the computer my sister used I only have one computer.

Also, this was years ago, but the time frame didn't seem to matter to the story...

Think before you sound retarded.

Oh wait, too late.

Both of the PCs in my house are running Microsoft Security Essentials (what the heck, it's free, and from what I heard pretty decent), that and I told everyone to use Chrome.

So far no one has keyloggered my MMO passwords yet. >.>

@ Kasha

That "certificate" may be laminated, but I think he's refering to something that looks more like a rolled up scroll than a card.....IF you get my meaning.

Hmm...I think I might try that new laminate that just came out.....or use a balloon....

I so knew where that was going...

Unpaid tech support for my in-laws here. That included presenting me with a computer case with a hard drive in and asking if I can fix it.

No CD rom, No driver disks, no WORKING harddrive. Please Fix as my tax return stuff is on there and I don't have a back-up

I want to be able to feed people to Jormy, I really do.

I want to see that laminated certificate!

2009-11-09T10:35:22.901-08:00

My mother is the family tech support guru. I'm the second-generation tech support guru that only goes to my mother for problems I haven't learned how to solve yet, and then only if I can't find the solution on Google.

Ironically she learned to be a tech support guru by CALLING TECH SUPPORT and then REMEMBERING THE SOLUTIONS THEY TOLD HER (back before Google, that is). But apparently this is too hard for my family.

2009-11-09T08:57:04.790-08:00

I found a great thing, to stop being tech support for family (and local neighbours) :
"I'm sorry, i was good some time ago, but technology has changed a lot, i'm really not aware of new stuff, did you buy your PC 6 years ago or more ?"
Answer is always no.
"Then i can't help you, sorry".

Damn it works great, just try it.

LMFAO @ Dyamalos for calling the one computer in his parent's house (where he lives) his "network".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

And, Dave, I work for Verizon Wireless... and every time I sell an air card / netbook / MiFi to someone, they think I'm they're tech support for life. I had a man and his wife come in the other day, and they had somehow firewalled the air card and the program it uses from their computer.

Needless to say... I told them that since it wasn't an issue with Verizon services, I wasn't able to help them.

Though I could have.

However, I don't get paid for that shit.

Read: My sister is retarded

The sad part is, all this happend AFTER she moved out of the house and was just comming over to look stuff online. After that incident, I created seprate accounts for all the computers and I have the only admin acsess. My parrents don't install things, and I probly couldn't trust them anymore than her...

I also force everyone on my network to use firefox. Might not help as much as people may think it does, but it makes me feal alot better...

As long as we (Read: I) are complaining, since when is "any" an HTML tag? blogger is also retarded. Not everything in greater than-less that brackets are HTML!

2009-11-09T00:32:25.952-08:00

I feel your pain [GM] Dave, I truly do, I'm a network admin, except, you know, I get paid.

Anyway, I'm sure you probably already know about this but Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/) is a pretty good tool. It can usually detect and remove a good number of things.

Rootkits are tricky, some simply can't be removed without a format / reinstall cycle, and even with the ones you can remove some damage system files.

2009-11-08T23:44:24.222-08:00

I'm tech support for my extended family too, which usually isn't that bad since I like computers and I like my family. The problem, though, is that my grandfather is very trusting about the websites he visits and things he downloads. After a few hours of work a found over 200 viruses and a rootkit or two, and it was mostly usuable again.

Though that computer really jsut needed to be dunked in holy water for a while and then dried out and burned.

Thankfully you were on Tech Support that day and not on Game Master. I'd hate to see what would happen if Susan asked to see the Complaints Manager...

2009-11-08T20:31:06.352-08:00

I feel your pain.

I have, for some reason, turned into the tech support guy for my entire extended family.
