When my dad had a desktop, for some reason beyond my comprehension, he’d seemingly download every toolbar offered to him. Opening up his internet browser on desktop and literally half of the screen was just toolbars.
He also insisted that I not touch it because he needed them.
Your dad is Jen from IT Crowd?

That is painfully accurate.
I still vividly remember when I was young that my dad blamed any and all computer problems on the fact that I downloaded Steam on the family PC. Couldn't possibly be because of the 20 "free" "antivirus" programs he downloaded.
Had someone complain to me why their home PC was running impossibly slow. Long story short, they had paid versions of McAfee and Norton running at the same time as Stopzilla
I used to leave a dod window open to an SSH shell. My mom was convinced it was going to get us hacked.
