I don't know if it's more stable, or slightly? smarter users. :) Smarter but sometimes too smart for their own good. People do tend to latch onto the scare of the day. Lately it's cookies. They don't wan'em so I turn them off, then they phone and tell me that EBay doesn't remember them anymore... Oh, and registry "cleaners". Many of my customers have these. I remove all of them except CCleaner (which is the only one that doesn't scare the bejeebus out of me). I tell them that they don't need registry cleaners or any other "tools". I tell them to phone me first before installing some kind of "helper".

That... cruddy stuff in the fins. :) We have a few manufacturing facilities that we support, some of those make parts by cutting metal - the oil in the air plays heck with the air-flow - it grabs the dust and just creates layers that can't be removed by blowing it, you have to turn things off and use a safe solvent to remove it... -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

I have found that my business has shifted from 95% malware removal | to about 40% today. The rest is hardware, networking, setup, etc. I chalk | that up to Windows being more stable. | Yesterday's agenda was a misconfigured router that couldn't connect to the | Internet, networking a printer, malware removal, and a firewall problem | prevening file sharing. As I was in my lab cleaning dust from sveral notebooks, I mentioned this thread to my peers that were present. We all had a hearty laugh about the use of compressed air bending fins/blades and about using Furniture Polish on a duster. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

It is amazing how much dirtier the inside of a chassis can get when it sits on a carpeted floor. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

That... cruddy stuff in the fins. :) When I did work as a Value Added Reseller (VAR) I supported a NJ bank. They all smoked around their AST brand computers. It was amazing how the colour of the plastic darkens under cigarette tar and much dust is attracted and sticks to the surfaces. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |
