I'd check in the washing machine or under the bed, for some strange reason they seem to get stuck there.

10 is too young to expect him to be able to manage a PC alone, add to that expecting him to manage downloading cracked games? You're asking for trouble.

PC sure why not, PC with internet, completely unsupervised? HELL NO. I wasn't even allowed to use the internet before I was 16.

hello guys
my step son is 10yrs old and i just bought him a new PC Desktop for christmas and he is very happy with it..but he came to me all nervously and said he thinks he might of caught a virus. i ended up running a scan which came back positive so i quarantined the files.. he is really into games like fortnite, obviously he is 10.. But what I'm wondering is if there is a game site similar to our sister site that has games that he can download kinda safely, like InboxDollars. I know nothing is foolproof, and I showed him how to check if the file is ok and to keep the computer running clean and fast.. i'm not sure if you can send me links via post so if you have any suggestions for me i'd greatly appreciate a PM from someone that knows their way around the gaming scene

You can check out Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG.com, Origin, Itch.io, and Humble Bundle for safe game downloads. These sites are popular and have good security measures in place. Always make sure to read user reviews and download games only from trusted sources to keep the PC safe.

Have you guys been living in a cave?

I would recommend to let him experiment more,
Viruses usually don't hurt hardware, keep a usb stick with windows around.
stress what would be consequence for local files when virus does wreck the windows installation.

And to go a little bit off-topic:
Let them learn to do time management on their computer time directly from the start.
I use Microsoft family to restrict screen time on my 11y daughter her computer.

at first this will be just annoying to them, but eventually this had the following effects:

She does not skip social interactions ('play-dates'), just to be able to play at home. Less screen time means she does outside and get some exercise or read a book.

Especially in the 'rob-lox' universe she started to get insightful about time wasting games.

I get to check what content she is exposed to.

She beats her mom at 'google game'

And since I know what applications are being used on her devices, I have great conversation starters.

Is it all good?

no, the internet is full of predators. statistically she can't have been online for this long without being approached by weirdos 51 game login.
That I didn't find any proof for that thus far, does not mean that is did not happen.
I think it did and she responded well by blocking/deleting inappropriate approaches.

The biggest problem ATM is that TikTok in enormously popular in her surroundings.
Which can only be considered as toxic mind waste.

I would highly recommend restricting social media sites at least till they are 13y old.
unless you want your 10 year old dabbling with hot topics about sexuality and all the complications that come with that.

For a 10-year-old, the safest approach is to stick to reputable game platforms that offer age-appropriate content and secure downloads. Good options include Epic Games Store (Fortnite and other kid-friendly titles), Microsoft Store, Steam with Family View enabled, and Itch.io with filters for safe games. These platforms manage downloads securely and reduce the risk of viruses. It’s also good that he knows how to check files and keep the PC clean. Staying on official stores with antivirus protection is the best way to let him enjoy gaming safely.

Man, that stepson is now 16, and he’s already made acquaintances with Skidrow, Golberg, and Reloaded
