I am really to strangle someone...

I seriously think I am going to strangle my father in law. I know he is looking at porn or something on this dang computer because how in the heck else am I going to all of a sudden be getting 10 billion popups everythime I am online? Is it that damn hard to just go buy a magazine and spend a few minutes in the bathroom like they did in the days before the internet? This is the second computer we have had since he has moved in with us (the first one got some sort of an STD from a porn site and we had to switch it out with the kids computer.) Hmmmm anyone see a pattern here? ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Hey babygrl, Guys and their porn! :rolleyes: Ask your father in law to get his own computer. Just like the sun will rise in the morning, guys will never stop looking at porn. You have given me a good giggle for the morning.:biggrin1:

Put NetNanny on it or some other type of parental monitoring system. If he's going to act like a teenager by sneaking around and looking at porn on other people's computers, treat him like one.

Make sure you run your anti-virus program and a good anti-spyware program such as ad-aware or spybot. Most of the time I find that those damn porn pop-ups are spyware that sneaks onto your computer (and sadly, it doesn't have to be because someone was on a porn site, it piggybacks lots of other stuff). Good luck with that!

And net nanny is a good idea, especially if your kids ever use the main computer....

My husband is quite a fan of on-line porn. This doesn't really bother me. I've worked in a male environment for a long, long time and this does seem to be a guy thing. Most boys like to look. I am, however, very pleased that we don't share computers and, yes, he did get a virtual STD.

If your FIL wants to look then he should have his own PC and he should have a top-notch anti-viral soft ware programme installed in order to protect himself. If he is unprepared or unable to do this then you will have to install a virtual censor or nanny in order to protect your PC and your kids. Those programmes have a nasty way of installing pop ups and Cookies, viruses and worms.

Yeah DH just ran our spyware thing and there were like 96 items that had to be deleted.

This computer we are using right now is actually the one the kids usually use but since the other one was fried (it was pretty old too like 6 yearsish) we had to hook this one up. We have a brand new one but unfortunatly DH built the thing himself trying to save some money and somethng is not working right on it. Once the other one is up and running I am prefectly willing to let him take this and beat off to his hearts content. I just don't want to see anymore popups!!!!

And you definitely don't want to let your kids be ambushed by the pop-ups! Ugh!

I love laurend's answer. Put NetNanny on there and stop the madness!

Hey babygrl, You definately do not want your kids to see anything that they should not. Maybe ask your fil to not use the computer in your home, and if he must ,to go elsewhere to use one.:myscared: Susannah

Yeah, the kids have not been on the computer lately since the weather is nicer now. When they are on there it is only if DH or I are in the room with them. They are only 4 and 6 and probably can't find it themselves but I certainly do not want them seeing any pop ups of an adult kind.

Net Nanny does sound like a good plan.
