Free tools.

Couple of things i've found repairing computers, aside from folks who aren't savvy enough to know when a fake program is trying to get their credit card information, is that a lot of them are infected with malware.  Fake antivirus, and fake antispyware. Which is why i keep saying the internet needs an iq requirement.  in either case,
Malwarebytes  and Avast are your best friends.  As with anything in life, protect yourself, and stay safe out there. Happy trails, y'all

  1. I moved on to spybot. Works for my needs and eats little CPU while running.

    And an IQ req. would be good, too bad it won't happen until we get neural implants.

  2. Another really awesome antivirus is Panda Cloud. You might want to check it out. :)

  4. I like AVG... and you can tell a customer is going to be a problem right off the bat if you see his dvd drive open and a cup of coffee resting on there...
