I've given up on trying to get my parents to practice safe computing, but at least a very long time ago when we had NetCom, they had Netscape as their default browser, and that's what my mom started using. She's dragged around a copy of Netscape 3.0 with her everywhere and refuses to upgrade, so I figure that's safer than a copy of OE6 that she never updates.
Of course, she runs Win95 *twitch* and never patches.
Now that I'm out on my own, it's a nice feeling not to have to continually help them with computer problems, though I do give them a call every time a new worm comes out to make sure that they aren't having issues.
