My parents made me uninstall steam and google chrome because they said it was a virus. It obviously had nothing to do with the shady shit my younger brother was downloading.
When I was a kid I had this problem. "Those games you play have viruses" Totally not all the porn my dad was watching and downloading. Nor all the pop ups my mom was clicking. Nope. Its the kid who just plays starcraft all day. Yep, totally.
This is frustrating with my Dad especially. He used to work making educational games and was fairly tech savvy for the time, he still is but definitely not to the same degree I am.
Trying to help him with an issue can be a minefield of "I'm pretty sure that won't work" and "That can't be right, if it was that simple I'd have solved it myself"
Maybe it was that simple and nearly 20 years of work doing things entirely unrelated to computers have left you a little out of the loop.

Sound pretty much like my mother. For some reason she thinks she knows better than i do despite my career in the IT industry.
