| 1339859 | 2013-05-10 04:20:00 | How can installing an antivirus and sticking to one web browser affect warranty? :confused::confused::confused: You ought to know what Dealers are like, even good ones! In the early stages of warranty it is not wise to fiddle . If anything goes wrong, they look first at what has been changed by the user! One might also say she is preparing for a PhD, so can probably install, or be told how to install, two programs onto a computer ;) She is more than smart enough, but not on computers! I have always looked after that myself, so she is a competent user of computers, but not technically aware, just as some people can drive a car well, but don't even know how to put air in the tires, check the oil or radiator levels, or fill the washer bottle . In many cases, they can't drive a manual, which is hardly rocket science, just one more pedal and a different sort of gear change . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

It could how she the user use the internet getting the viruses etc... even if you have a software that warns you maybe some people ignore the warning :confused: also the the risks in connecting to a WIFI spot that is not official that is set up deliberately to act in a way. | Nomad (952) | ||

Still don't see the problem with installing an antivirus and a web browser though . . . . . so she's not going to be installing anything until the warranty runs out? Not even M$ word? :confused: |
