Moderators rridgely Posted September 22, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2007 That question is like asking: "I just got a car, now what road should I drive on?" There are plenty of sites out there but we have no idea what your parents like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi rridgely I guess It's a pretty broad question They are retired and like all the things retired people like: gardening, reading, travel, etc...

Moderators Andavari Posted September 22, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2007 Install McAfee SiteAdvisor, then give them a lesson on how it can keep them away from scrupulously websites via the warning icons in their searches - of course that's no failsafe but it helps, and it's of little use when not using a search engine. It wouldn't hurt to install either Firefox or Opera either and to let them know to only resort to using Internet Explorer in a "must use situation" when a site doesn't work with Firefox or Opera.

craigathus Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 Thanks Anavari & hazelnut With my parents being fairly new to surfing the net, I've been trying to teach them over the phone what to do' and not to do etc... They live about 1500Km away in another state. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 22, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2007 They live about 1500Km away in another state. That's a good distance away, so you wouldn't be able to swoop in at a moments notice to rescue their PC on site if they get into trouble. If their computer ever does get into trouble you know where to send them for help - this very forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prevention is always better than cure, so with fingers crossed they won't need to post any HJT log's etc... http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 you could also get the firefox add on Stumpleupon" and they input their interests and it randomly selects sites along those lines. just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
