TheSternMystic Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Maybe get her to us M$ anti spyware. it's made by M$ (haha bs) so it must be great for use with IE *nudge**nudge* 473970[/snapback] Don't bash it till you've tried it. It's actually really good. I figure, who knows the inner workings of Windows than the programmers who made? In that case, then who better to know when something is astray?

Kamikaze_Badger Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Maybe the company they bought the software from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergrunt69 Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 try setting IE's home page to a local html file (that you write) that crashes IE as soon as it opens? When that happens non stop, maybe she'll try looking for alternatives... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time they did it the legal way instead of stealing Norton's programming back in DOS 6.2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarkins Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 pull something critical from her computer and tell her it was IE's fault 473986[/snapback] Good idea I think that Ad-Aware pro a an option that monitor your computer so spywares can't be intalled/dl. Might be the solution... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
napmaster383 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 infect her pc with tons and tons and tons of viruses. Then she'll be begging you to fix it. It's for her own good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleaznkid Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 i seriously don't get why people are mad at IE... I mean sure they crash once in a month. so? This is so interesting. What browser did you guys use to download Firefox??? i bet most of you will say IE.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Try this: Download Firefox and use the IE icon, and rename it IE just tell her there was an update and she will never know the difference. Download Bonzibudy and use it until she is to annoyed to use the computer. (This one worked with my brothers) lol 2 evil ways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 well i am a big fan of IE alternatives...... BUT the biggest flaw in firefox would be the lack of support for active-X control. yea sure about every virus that can use active-X does. but i have a ton of sites that use it and i have to switch to IE just to do what ever i was on that site for. like yahoo launch. i feel that because of IE's larger user base and the dumber people that have IE it makes for the perfect breeding ground for hacks and anything else. i dont know if firefox or other alternatives will ever get the respect they deserve and have site making their code for IE and alternatives. but i feel it is goin in the right direction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propane Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Im assuming you have a router with QoS. If you do, just priortize her computer so its low and your computer so its high... then when she goes on a rant about spyware, you tell her to fix it since shes obviouslly the expert... "she handeled the issue well last time" And just refuse to help her, make her take it to professionals... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
