Anti virus recommendations

Yes.

Loading a virus checker / surf safe software and discussing
with your children what's acceptable and what isn't
acceptable behaviour is *probably* all that's realistic.

If you read the post that started this sub-thread someone
said that "when the kids were dog sitting they sometimes use
the computer". This suggests that they are at least 12 or
so.

What's being suggested about 'supervising' children's
internet usage? Is it that you spend every waking moment
looking over their shoulders? It's not practical, or in the
case of the children healthy.

The difference between what's ideal and practical is often
missed. Parents have stuff to do too as well as those of
you without children; it's not possible to spend every
waking moment watching over them.

As I said it's something that gets on my nerves the way that
people with no direct experience are full of advice. Still
it is ukrm so I guess it goes with the territory.

 

I'm not their parent.

Un-cork me to reply

 

Which part of "at least" was unclear?

 

I think 15 and 21 counts as "at least 12", don't you?

 

Way past his bedtime. Tears before, etc.

 

No. That's why I've passworded it.

Not any more, if they did before.

Heh. I don't, actually.

 

What's to get upset about?

 

Given that the "children" were at home on their own I'd
assumed that they were at least 12, so maybe that makes part
of the difference.

My daughter's been using a PC under those conditions since
she was about 11. So far, so good; at least to the best of
my knowledge. To be honest there are many other things for
a parent to worry about, seeing porn or similar on the
internet is probably very close to the bottom of my list.

In case The Doctor or the kids find it!

 

Pretty low on my list. This is some strange Oliver Twist
reference isn't it?

Or was it something that the Elves made Noddy do?

 

Nope, you'rew wrong again. One little ukrm-type pisstake, and you send
your rattle skywards. The usual thing, I'm afraid - you'll willingly
take the piss out of anyone, and smirk when they react, but you are the
*easiest* person to send into a rage yourself. Lighten up.

Nope. Fact. You forget I have an elephantine memory, and I recognise 90%
of your sources.

This you can almost certainly do, although there are those who say you
can't. Neither of us has seen the other ride, and I am not getting into
a pissing contest.

So why do you keep pronouncing on it?

CFC? Chlorofluorocarbon?

No, I'm simply startled that you fly off the handle at the smallest,
most harmless dig. Others will no doubt be wondering the same thing.

 

I was thinking of some of the stories you've told from your youth.

 

take a look at the best antivirus software available antivirus.ca.com, this
product has won numerous industry acclaims and I've personally used it for
the last 5 years and have never had a virus breakthrough.

Sorry, couldn't resist - I'll get me coat now, shall I ?

 

maybe that's why it's so shite?

 

Tells me that the ones too stupid to take steps to prevent
getting pregnant are also the ones too stupid to be able to
prevent their kids from accessing viri/porn on the internet.

Windows 2000/XP home/XP pro/NT4.0 and set up user accounts for yourself and
"spotty oik".

You can then restrict what they can do and what files they can view/edit/
create. (needs installed with the NTFS file system though)

I'm never trolling. I'm usually attempting some sort of wind-up.

For the record, although I'm dimly aware you work for some sort of AV
outfit, I've no idea which one it is.
