Re: Go figure...

Yeah same here. Every time I get a call from someone with problems and I sit down at their PC to figure out there is almost always a *hit load of spyware or some such crap installed on it and they aren't even aware of it.

I have to give credit to one of my friends though. She isn't a PC guru but she knew enough to tell me that it was there she just didn't know how to get rid of it.

Thank god for Ad-aware.

I help my freinds out with their computers, and spyware is the #1 thing that screws their computers up.
