internet and computers for dummies

[vanwazltoff]

well my dad bought a computer to help manage and do research for his and girlfriends small business (ice cream shop), neither of them really have any internet or computer skills. i did my treatment to his laptop (out with the bloatware, upgrade to 8.1, startisback, office, quicken, av etc ). set him up with the Google ecosystem.

 

i think the best course of action is a video series that'll help with the basics of using their computer and the internet...preferably for free. anything text based will never get read

 

i dont think i have the patience to do it myself but i can definitely help

Firstly install malwarebytes and weboftrust, the first problem with new comers to the internet is toolbars and viruses, with my two recommendations the websites will be flagged and downloads will be checked before they are downloaded, why find a virus after its on your computer.
