The problem is that these days people prefer buying fish from the market.Why do something fun when you can spend money buying some wich is also crappy and expensive?

There's no need for serial or crack?

Of course there is, look for FFF's crack.

**yoco** · 06.02.10, 19:45

What does FFF mean?

**anon** · 06.02.10, 19:46

It's the name of the group that made the crack...

FFF - Fighting For Fun acronym.

What your cousin needs is to go through a learning curve. Once he uses free software and limited functionality or features and he can master those and get sick of the limited feature set then you know hes not gona need your help any more.

Just give him good but basic software

I would put on a noobs comp (not because the software is bad but easy to use)
Outpost firewall free
MS Security Essentials AV
(as a start)

I know what you mean. He knows everything about Fifa and NBA games, and where to get them, but when it comes to protecting and fixing your PC, always calls me!

**Mihai** · 07.02.10, 11:54

well if he is such a noob why not tell him that if he doesn't use antivirus and firewall he might not be able to play Fifa at all

It's a lie but maybe this way you will convnce him to learn.

**yoco** · 07.02.10, 12:02

I'm not sure that will work!

**SBfreak** · 07.02.10, 12:54

Did you try teaching him?

**saebrtooth** · 07.02.10, 13:22

yoco if you want it to be noob friendly and even for people who are tech savvy not everyone likes to be bothered about popups and security issues.

So, try to put on his computer, as others have suggested, and make the settings to auto update, auto scan and auto remove viruses.

Most AV software can be set to the set and forget but firewalls not are all the same. If using Outpost Firewall as anon had suggested it has an autolearn feature to automatically configure net access for appz for 1 week.

Set and forget and he then doesnt need to tweak it himself unless he wants to.
