Do you let other people use your computer(s)?

Are you married too?

 

Sometimes.

 

Anyone can use my PC, there is a standard account without admin rights, so I see no problem at all.

 

I let people use the computer (household shared computer), and friends/family, full admin rights, just as I use. They all know to give me a shout and wait if they see suspicious links and not to open email attachments.

For young cousins I do not trust as much, I run the IM application and browser sandboxed and change Kaspersky's settings to block all unknown applications.

 

No one even dares to look at my PC

 

My favorite answer so far.

 

LOL, nice!
Lots of privacy for you

 

Sometimes, friends come to my house and ask to use my laptop. It's ok as long as I'm near.

As for family, everybody has their own laptop here.

 

When "smart" enough not to click "YES!, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS OFFER/CHANCE TO BE POSITIVE!" to every popup they see then they can use my pc. 2 people do that on a regular basis. Never had a problem.

 

Yeah, if someone wants to use my PC i MUST be behind him staring

 

I do let my mom dad use it. For playing some older games like DXBall2

 

I image my HDs regularly & password protect my "private files" -- ergo, there is only .000001% risk of letting someone use my computer.

(I hope )

 

Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!! I like for it to still work when I need to use it.

 

No way, José!

 

Yes, my wife and dog, but neither of them know how to logon, so that is down to me as expert unchallenged.

 

My lovely family have there own laptops, but is always seems, that for some reason, my wife and son have to just use my Laptop.

 

My windows Machine and my Mac i use most 60% of the time, But my Soon to be wife (Only got 14 Weeks of freedom left ) She only really use the pc and is alot better at not trashing it now lol

My mac shivers when she walks past it lol

 

Family has a machine that I use too. Then there is another one just for ME. Most business is done on mine. I do not go any where other than known trusted sites on mine. Who knows about the kids and their games or what might lurk there.

The Acer is mine.

 

What is EAM?

 

Emsisoft Anti Malware or as called before A-Squared

 

Not including my wife, who is 100% certified to abuse all the machines, I do let some people use some of my computers, depending what they want, need or try to do. But in general, few people other than myself and close family come in contact with my computing assets.

Mrk

 

I totally agree. Computers, bicycles and girlfriends are not to be shared

 

I don't willingly let others....to be honest. I find it intrusive

However, I have to let my family use my personal laptop sometimes. Therefore, I took the secured default-deny setup approach so that they cannot install anything on it. I'm the administrator and only me can configure/destroy it

As for data, I'm rather irresponsible right now. No password protection whatsoever but I've got nothing to hide (or mostly nothing) Let's see how things go...
