Been there, done that.  Will your in-laws complain if you install anti-virus software?  Mine did.  Done it with my Mom too.  She too didn't life having to deal with anti-virus software, or bugs either.

I love it. My mom was using the free version of Avast. It was pinging her and giving her a notification message that it had blocked some malware once every 15 seconds or so. I told her to buy the Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware protection. Her response: "I'm not paying $20 for antivirus when it's free." I told her to have fun with those 'free' notifications.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

"I'm installing this to help you.  If you don't want me to, or you uninstall it, you're on your own."

Win-win.

No, I didn't have it as bad as that, though I did have to sift through seven hundred viruses and unwanted add ons, as it turns out that the guy was just using the standard windows security suite, that had never been updated. That, and the constant presence of so many add ons turned his machine into a lap searing heat monster, running so full it takes minutes for anything to happen. Lucky ol' Uncle Joe is at least semi-computer literate, just apparently unwilling to update anything, which is bad when you torrent everything you watch. Tongue

That's odd. I've never had that type of issue with the free version of Avast and I've been running it for years (with no viruses either). Recently, their upgrade notifications have gotten a little pushy, but even that is a once-a-month type of thing.
