I'm thinking about changing their password so that only I can install new programs for them because I think that would be easier than fixing their computer all of the time.

Glad my mother doesn't use computer nearly att all, and my father is paranoid enough to be careful.

yeah, that's been popping up quite a bit lately for me. Figured it'd be a virus so I've always tried my best to close the pop up asap just in case :)

You'd be surprised how many dumb people there are when it comes to computers. When a girl in my class told my friend about the problem, he told her, "Congratulations! You've downloaded one of the only two Mac viruses in existence!" Made me laugh.
Thanks for the reminder though, Anubis. I left a note near the computer my parents use just in case my mom thinks it's a good idea to install it. :)
Anubis:
You're welcome. I'm happy to help ;)
EDIT: BTW, I think that this virus affects also to Windows systems but I've not confirmed this yet. However, we Windows users are more used to these kind of things :P
