MrYum, I have the same problem with my Sister and her kids... I make the computer nice, and they turn around and download spyware loaded shit. I finally got their attention by telling them that each time I take the computer to fix it, the only fix will be to reformat the drive and reinstall windows - losing all of their saved data.
They became much more careful. I don't repair the computer too often now (although I do have a service call for this week, they finally installed DSL and really screwed some stuff up on the way by). It is bright and sunny and farking cold this morning here, -7C, and looks like we will have a little more of this before spring is truly sprung. That just means more shit to do outside that I don't have time to handle. So wonderful. Tim Horton's coffee is already served, and work is working. Alex |

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

It was really bad when she would call me from MI, and I'd try to walk her through repairs and she was on XP and I was on 2000. At least now we both have the same operating system, so if she has any issues, it is easier for me to talk her through. I've had her reformat the drive 3 or 4 times after he daughter downloaded virii that ground it right to a halt.
