TOTAL clowno.

You must teach them self-sufficiency. Or at least buy them a more simple computer.

I'm estranged from my mother and my father is computer literate but doesn't celebrate Christmas due to not believing in Santa Claus, so I am not fixing my parents computer.

(Actually I am very surprised that rkill and malwareantibytes shows her computer is clean and that Mom's only issues are with installing some updates)

@OP
Windows XP, IE 6, and 9,001 malware infections?

I had to put my stepdad's computer on Linux Mint because he kept having, um, troubles. Last year I got my parents a Chromebook and they couldn't be happier. I think Chrome OS is great for old people. Most of them just want to check their Facebook.

There were only 8 minor findings from MAB!

I think her woes are entirely from having too little RAM—2 GB! The resource monitor shows heavy disk thrashing and a pegged CPU. I'm pretty sure it's the usual IO-bound resource exhaustion.

I recommended she get somebody to install 8 GB RAM and an SSD.

You know Gentoo can work comfortably with 2GB and they won't get viruses anymore!
