180543 2003-10-05 06:08:00 A small tip to watch out for is installing Ad-aware or Spybot Search & Destroy on friends/relatives computers, is that you shouldn't give the program its first run on their PC whilst the female users of the household are nearby :D - can potentially cause a lot of embarassement to the male users when some of the *interesting* sites cookies they have been visiting appear amongst the spyware.

I didn't think of this when I installed the antispyware program on a friends PC, the poor guy who was watching at the time went scarlet, and got a quick whack from the girlfriend who was also watching.

who had been doing the dodgy surfing, but they are usually the culprit :p

I was doing a major clean out on a home user's PC (solo Mum with one teenage son) a while back...found muchly gay porn on there, somewhat outnumber the cookies etc linking back to "normal" porn sites (10 to1)...what to do? I said nothing, I didn't feel it was my business to bring him out of the closet! And also just in case I was wrong too.

And yes, son used the PC 99% of the time.
What have you done?

First of all I hear that is a Microsoft Information file of some sort. Surely the built in reader is good enough :p Or you could just use notepad, use terminal font pt 9 if you want the fancy formatting.

Yeah, but I'm really too lazy to associate the files with Notepad.. ;-)
