Stop. Install your favorite ad blocker, like ublock origin. Refresh.
Work smarter not harder
Back in my day, we didn't have no fancy ublock origin
YEA! We just kept closing popups till we got the right one!!!!
And then your friend sends you a link to the "You Are An Idiot" gag site so you just have to reboot.
Forgot to turn the volume down, instant regret as the speakers on the family computer scream ”HI EVERYBODY I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO”
Some people posted those weird links where its a jumpscare
No lie, this is how I learnt keyboard hotkeys as a kid. I'd click middle mouse to open a link on the site in a new tab, with my hand ready to go on Ctrl + W. The nanosecond I detected a fake site, I'd closer that sucker and move onto the next link.
Oh boy did I bring a lot of viruses on my computer in the process in the name of efficiency & greed (& hefty amount of stupidity).
About 2 years ago I spent most of a Christmas sorting out my MIL's new laptop, uninstalling junk and whatnot, and I tossed ublock origin on there. A few days ago I came back to sort out the Realtek audio drivers which uninstalled themselves via Windows Update. I find she has an entirely different laptop now, branded as"Acemagic" but through the magic of forced Microsoft Sign-in ublock origin synced to Edge on this new laptop, and there was no crapware installed despite the laptop clearly being in use for about 6 months already!
TL;DR install ublock origin on your parents computers to save yourself some trouble down the line
Install Radarr and avoid torrent websites completely.
