I told my mom to download ublock so she doesn't have to watch ads. She said she's afraid it will give her a virus. So she downloaded mcafee to "scan her computer". Now she thinks all the warnings that pop up are from ublock viruses (that she didn't download). Instead of downloading a trusted app from the app store she installed an antivirus that is in fact, a virus.
