I hates that damn Safe Search POS.

what a PITA to remove.

I wish people wouldn't download all this free "helper" apps they see on the web.
Then they find out how much it screws up their computer and bring it to me all panicked.
Worse yet, this isn't the first time she did this.

Like McAffee as a "free" add on to Adobe Flash.

My Dad used to download and install everything that PC Magazine recommended, along with ALL the add ons to the recommended programs. No wonder his computer was slow and ran poorly - he had six to eight registry checkers, three virus programs, six tool bars (they took up half his browser screen!), and more. None of us could convince him that all that crap was what screwed up his computer - and every time I'd clean off some of it, he'd complain about programs he was missing and go download more crap. Oh well, I wish I still had that problem to deal with - I miss having him ask me for computer help.

They think that having to constantly close popups is just part of using a computer.
