Re: Frightening Spyware Story

Spyware is the biggest problem I've seen in PCs lately. Most people bring
me their PC because it is sluggish or has tons of pop-ups. Of course these
are the same people that don't believe that they have to update their virus
definitions all the time in order to protect their PC, even though I've
given them documentation on how to take better care of their PC. With all
that is going on out there that can slow down or destroy your system, it is
more important to run a regular maintenance schedule on their PC than it is
their vehicle. But about 90% of the computers I look at have serious
spyware or virus infections, and usually run nice and smooth after a few
utilities are run. This is hardly tech work, but I'll take the cash for it,
if that's what they want. All for people refusing to educate themsleves.
