Re: People I know (of).....
On a trip to my brother-in-law's this weekend, I took it upon myself to clean his computer system. He had 474
spyware "hits" as found by Ad-Aware and 300+ as found by Spybot after Ad-Aware was done. This amounted to at least 8 different spyware programs (4 running at the same time). I lost count after a bit. He also had a trojan horse virus.
A co-worker of mine had 1200 spyware hits computer was moving at snails pace. I agree with user error being the biggest problem. That is why my wife can not use my computer and I get the joy of fixing hers. |

I guess I'm lucky. My wife is computer savvy and knows enough to keep the computer clean of spyware (or come to me if there's something she's not sure of).  |
