Trying to help a friend with his pc

>Feel the urge to tell him that i know better and that it's the only thing left to try
>Resist and calmly try to persuade him to do it
>He doesn't want to
Don't feel like helping him again, i know he isn't very smart or bright or anything the like but i don't understand why he has to be so offensive when i try to help him.
I can hear it in his voice and tone, he's just angry at me for trying to help him.

Anybody else experience something similar?

Why dafuq do they lie about this stuff?

>anti-virus software prevents execution of malware
>insist on shutting down the antivirus to "fix" the problem
Yeah, nice tech support, retard. Your friend is surprisingly smarter than you.

it's the same thing when some people are at the doctor
>"well you have assaids"
>"what how could that happen?"
>"did you have fagsex?"
>"what no, no not at all"
it's too save the tiny bit of embarrassment, it doesn't fucking matter and it would go alot faster and easier if people were more honest about these things.

...

>if you shut down your antivirus, your computer will immediately become a bomb and your identity will be stolen!

Never used anti virus, never had any trouble..

I was on a call literally two days ago where AVG's firewall completely disabled some dude's connection
>enhanced firewall

When the FILTHY CUNT that I used to call my sister decided that something I did was wrong, she complained about it to no end. Most of the time without reason like a christian mother having her child suddenly stumble upon a videogame with women on it.

>Download some game that allowed for a bit of modding
>All config files looked suspiciously like system files in her mind
>DON'T TOUCH THAT YOU WILL BREAK THE COMPUTER YOU LITTLE SHIT

>Really old connection that only worked through certain hours of the day
>Except I could connect to a big IRC server all day if I wanted
>Knew there was literally no issue with this
>YOU ASSHOLE NOW THE INTERNET BILL IS GOING TO COST DOUBLE

Nowadays she's part of the FFF group and not living with me so I'm at peace.

I'm pretty sure all of us have experienced something similar

The trick is not helping dumb fucks at all

Nothing worse than being the "computer guy"

I've long since grown out of this and demand money per hour. They're going to come back 5 months later and insist that "whatever YOU did" fucked it up now.

If you're autistic, a great fake excuse you can use is that your Sup Forums related job made you sign an agreement that you aren't allowed to do any computer work except for the clients at your business so as to keep the credibility of the business intact.

>FFF group
What's that?
>inb4 curiosity killed the cat

Let's try to guess before he comes back

>Fuck for Forest, an environmental group that raises money through the production of pornography
>FFF, a hexadecimal number with the decimal value 4095

Fat fucking feminist.

So that means she won't reach 40 without dying of a heart attack caused by triggering and pastries.

>tell people I'm studying Computer Science
>they think it's tech support

I've just started telling people I'm studying discrete maths.

this gave me a bit of a chuckle, i needed that, thanks familion

>Fuck for Forest, an environmental group that raises money through the production of pornography
dude what?

>At work on break.
>Panicking coworker comes up to me.
>Begs, "Help me!"

I got a Free laptop.

most hippie "organisations" like this exist solely because they contact rich business owners who want to appear "progressive" so they donate a massive amount of cash to some bullshit project and get hippie green modern points, then a year later they're way past defunct as the three business owners they get 100% of their income from don't give a shit anymore

but now they're coming for you

This is also an acceptable solution. I've gotten 5+ free laserjet printers from businesses. Some of them had spent imaging kits, others were just empty black toner carts.

In my experience they're not lying they just have no idea what they are doing on a computer so they don't think they have done what you ask them

>>Fake world police virus.
>>Fake world police virus.
>>Fake world police virus.

i was joking

I know. So many people panic at the sight of it.

I help other developers with our enterprise software once in awhile and the sad part is this same shit happens with people 2x - 3x my pay grade.

>> it stopped working
>> well have you changed any settings?
>> of course not
>> 'review admin logs and see crippling changes'

Just be honest and it'll make both our lives easier.

>button left corner
what did he mean by this?

im the only computer literate member of my family. I have to wait until I am home alone before I can work on any network anything. I can't even reboot my router without a family member coming upstairs and assaulting/threatening to kill me. They stream netflix literally 24/7 and blame me for the slightest interruption. I have both modem and router on battery backup to avoid being assaulted for any network downtime

>oh maths? I learned that in high school

can never win desu

the good part about living in your own house is that if somebody talks to you like that, you can kick them out

I don't have the financial means to move out, but thats a discussion best reserved for
for now, I have a taser

...

He meant the bottom left corner. OP is probably on a phone or just foreign.

nah, i just right button out of bad habit, also that user is autistic don't mind him

i'm been treated by all my closest female family members like complete garbage
i'm now a faggot who don't trust females and have a hard time relating to them and anybody else, hah fuck my life right?

Oh man the bait of this, any antivirus you install and allow it's firewall to run will block connections it does not know 9/10 times your antivirus is messing up your internet.

Your fantasies are getting more and more elaborate.
Soon they'll be worth reading.
