Title: I recently came home to find the home PC has been bricked - the boot layer has somehow been corrupted.<p>This is pretty remarkable given that my dad only uses it watch golf videos and edit some photos in lightroom. He may occasionally indulge in some porn <i>cough</i>.<p>I figured he&#x27;d be relatively safe as I installed an Adblocker and had Norton installed on the device but I did not realise how vulnerable he was until I found out he can&#x27;t tell the difference between a pop up and a genuine desktop notification. He has even clicked through on a &quot;You have been chosen to win an iPhone 7&quot; link recently - he saw no harm in at least seeing what might happen.<p>He also likes to download videos from youtube so I taught him how to use youtube-dl but ended up downloading some malware-infected ripper because it had a more convenient UI.<p>How do I educate someone from such a base level?<p>What can I put on the PC to protect them? I avoided using scriptblockers as I don&#x27;t think they are tech savvy enough to work out why a page might not be working.
