All different customers, well over 1000 by now. Once I get them fixed up I either never hear from them again or I hear from folks they've recommended. Once in a blue moon I'll hear from them again with a malware issue but it's usually something really dumb they've done, such as falling for the fad of the month, which lately is "registry cleaners" they've seen advertised on TV that are really malware.

Oh, and the other Big Thing is the "driver updater" program. Why people think that they need driver updates for machines that are working perfectly well I don't know, but I've had a bunch of those. I'm not sure that they "update" any drivers at all, but they sure want you to spend a bunch of money to make their nag screens go away. |
