I don't think I'd be able to simultaneously explain that concept to a painter whilst appearing sober and of sound mind.
Much better

last time i was there i ran a malwarebytes scan and followed up with a hijack this scan
i found a trojan, found out it was obtained by a stupid 3rd installed toolbar bullshit thingy for facebook, i showed the EXACT path of who downloaded it and showed them why it was bad to download those
inlaw says "that's definitely not a virus because you gotta pay money to get rid of viruses, last time we got a virus, a pop up came up and said we had to buy and download this antivirus in order to get rid of it. Leave that toolbar alone I use it all the time"
dont get me wrong, im not the absolute greatest tech saavy person on earth but i can fix most issues i ever have with my computer myself although admittedly I am NO WHERE NEAR the level of say DTN, but i think i should send them a email saying im a nigerian prince and they won the lottery
thats the future of the united states of america folks
