They say there are jobs where sometimes you don't ever have to talk to the customers, you just get to fix the crap. I think I might like that.
Almost every home I visit has their machine running like a one legged dog due to virus activity, p2p, spyware, and poorly written programs that place items to launch at startup. It is almost impossible to educate someone that the happy little toolbar they just installed came with smiley faces and 17 other programs that have now eaten all of the available RAM. I love explaining Backdoor CoreFlood.
"Well Ma'am it's like this. Your computer has this little program on it that goes out on to the Internet and tells Hackers that your computer is ready for them to control. Then the Hacker uses your computer to attack other computers on the internet, and tries to shut down web sites."
Usually they figure the FBI is going to be at their door any minute.
