@variablepulserate Exactly. He's the one who refuses to trust Microsoft and gets his Windows Updates, drivers, optimisers, etc. from his favourite Russian site.
Really. He needs a VPN to get it all, an all his stuff is cracked.
Speaking of optimisers, he gave my youngest daughter a cast-off laptop last year. It was too slow for his needs. There were 3 sets of optimisers; 2 of antimalware, 2 antivirus suites, and an always-on system monitor. No wonder it took nearly 10 minutes from boot before any page would open in Chrome!
