| Should I tell him...? | |

Bail Hope of Belouve - Student  |
Some of you may know I've got a stepdad ( )and he's fixing another computer, while he doesn't know what exactly he's doing  as usual  Now, he wants to borrow my McAfee Virus Scan, just because the computer might be filled with viruses Should I tell him to update it? Two reasons why I shouldn't: 1) I just don't like him... He think's he's the wisest man on earth, and I can't stand that Everything I, or my brother, says is probably a lie, since he knows best 2) He'll need internet to update it, so he'll plug it into our network. A computer filled with virusses, plugging into a network, shouldn't be the first choice here, now would it? What do you think? Should I tell him? _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

You can adjust your firewall on your own PC to not let ANYTHING in your computer if your dad pluggs in. So you don't need to worry about that. But as I see it he should be punished for being such a loser to you, let him chocke in those virusses. _______________ Personal sleepness-nights-supporter of Virtue.

ive got an idea... put the latest definitions on a cd with the install, have him install it, and replace the default definitions with the latest ones.. that way, he can get updated defs, and still not risk any other computers _______________ Stimpski (formerly known as DeathScythe many, many moons ago.)

I have absolutely no time for people who talk shit about stuff they don't know, got a flatmate like that he said (and i quote) this to my flatmate, who was installing redhat on a server he's setting up for his course: Quote: Hey, this is Longhorn the upgrade to XP isn't it? and then started going on about it, suffice to say John and I chose to look at him in disgust and not respond! _______________ Support bacteria, they're the only culture some people have. |

omg! He started working on the computer and made a classical error as soon as he put the disc in he said: "He asks if he can check for new files on the net. That's not neccessary" and about a minute later: my favorite Quote: No you don't need to update! I just want to scan for some virusses The computer turns out to be free of virusses well deuh... if you don't update. Probably the most new virusses in the pc. And he doesn't update That's too bad _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website! Quote: I try to have fun with my friends and try to make a difference as best I can.
