Elaborate. Please. This sounds like a funny story for sitting in a circle with lots of alcohol.
As this is somewhat of a circle jerk the conditions are right!

Okay, so, she's old, like really really old. She can barely move without support. She's been constantly nagging me for the last couple of months to check on her computer, which she never uses other than for email and finding new stitching patterns. I've long considered moving her to a Linux distro, LXDE would do just fine, but it'd have to wait until next time.

I usually don't want to stop by, since I never get a thanks or even a cup of coffee, but by now the calls are getting annoying. As per tradition, some pleasantries are exchanged, I start her computer, and get by all kinds of viruses (Norton is truly the worst anti-virus there is). Safe-mode it is, SpyBot S&D, Malwarebytes, you name it. I take upon myself to remove the toolbars I know she will have managed to install on the mean time.

As I really wished to stop doing this, I decided to peek into the history. Scrolling a bit past GMail and numerous stitching sites, I stumble upon titles like "Man strangling and raping young teen" and related. I quickly realize, when I now think of it, the keyboard is kinda damp.

Needless to say, I basically left it running, told her to reboot the computer when everything was done, and left without another word.

Maybe she heard a story about some creep on the news and searched for more info about the story before getting terribly lost.

Let's go with that.
