I used to do part time work doing pc repair work and the reason I got out of it was for every one real problem I had to fix 20 problems that turned out to be spyware or virus removals. Now some of these can be a challange they are not my favorite things to do. I always provided my customers with free programs (spybot, adware, AVG & sygate) if they were desired and showed them how to maintaine them and how often to run them. The thing that drove me to distraction was for every one customer that took my advice seven more were calling me six mounths later becuse there computers were F@#ked again (mostly becuse they could not rember to hit the check for updates button) ONE EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO REMOVE THE FREE SOFTWARE I LOADED ON TO HIS SYSTEM BECUSE HIS SOMEONE TOLD HIM THAT I HAD PROBLY LOADED PROGRAMS THAT WOULD STEEL FORM HIM. Needless to say I am no longer fixing other peoples computers I realy don't need the money and my life is stressful enough. So now I keep up my systems and build furniture in my garage during my spare time. I find it much more rewarding than dealing with poeple like the one tiger is talking about.

(just my two cents)
