Computers are good for...

As some of you might be aware, my current job is a desktop support ENGINEER! ;)... which is basically fixing peep's computer problems (a good percentage of the problems is user based however!). Anyway I also do this for friends and family and this along with Sin Dee and The Daz Man is slowly but steadily expanding as a viable business which I hope will eventually be my only job rather than this part time vision that we all have. Anyway as part of that we fix a lot of computers and one of the main things I get asked to do alot is sort out viruses and spyware type issues. Basically the conversation with someone I am fixing their computer goes something like this...

Me: So whats the problem
Them: Well my computer is running really slowly and the Internet keeps dropping out
Me: OK, lets have a look....
(5 minutes later)
Me: Well you do have quite a few nasties lurking on this thing, but Ill be able to clean it all I think.
Them: Thats wierd, I dont know where I got it from.
Me: Have you been to any lets say less than reputable sites lately?
Them: Ummmmm... no.. not at all.
Me: Well I can have a look here in your history and see when and where these things came from.
Them: (panic'd) You can see my history files, I thought I deleted them!
Me: No they are still here in these hidden folders, lets see.... well from 1am till 3:20am Saturday night it looks like there was a lot of traffic from www.bigblackmommas.com and www.shizeronmyface.com... looks like that might be the problem.
Them: (red-faced) Ummm I dont know how that got on there! :)


Well here is a vid about one of my main customers Randy!
