[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 971074, member: 71262"] The most important first step is to talk with your father about basic computer and intenet hygiene. This is essential. Try to understand the source of his paranoia. Do you live in a place ridden with rampant extortion, civil unrest, other crime, etc.? Or is he spinning these beliefs in his head out of past traumatic experiences, etc. or from some unreliable media sources or security clickbait? Once you understand where he's coming from you can start to come up with solutions that work for him. I can't stress enough that basic computer and intenet hygiene education is an essential foundation and starting place for computer security. [/QUOTE]
