[QUOTE="donetao, post: 318182, member: 27614"] Hi! I deal with senior citizens every day in my retirement center.Seniors are trusting people. My last encounter with malware found 1205 infections on a seniors PC. Mostly PUP's but 12 were malicious.The senior said "I have a anti-Virus; how could this happen?" I gave her a quick lesson on how to surf safer. Installed WOT on both browsers. Told her she might think about adding Malwarebytes Pro. She was using Chrome, which had gotten infected. Uninstalled Chrome. Installed Firefox. I'm not a fan of Chrome. Discussed creating a back up image of her OS. A back up image on a external drive that is free from infections is a great defense. The internet will only get worse. I never charge for my services.Seniors need all the help they can get. Very nice thread! Was a good read. All PC users need to read your thread. Thanks! PS Using your brain and knowing where to click is your best defense these days. Times are changing fast and it will only get worse! PUP's are getting to be a real pain in the neck and more and more of them are showing up. Surf safely and watch those mouse clicks as the OP has wisely advised.;) Try to down load programs only from the authors site if you can! I trust FileHippo. CNET is no longer a trusted site IMHO.
