It Lives!!! The Down Side of Letting Kids Play with You PC

I am friends with PK, you see he repairs computers and this past Saturday he had a job and a half. You see his customer wanted him to fix their PC after their kids fucked it up really bad. How bad…try this. They figured out how to disable Norton so they could install games and all the programs they wanted. But once their parents found out about it…and saw their computer had slowed down by 90%. Lets say they had HELL to pay.

I visited PK on the very day he was still repairing their PC. Which is the middle of the road PC. It seemed after it’s 1st scan which scored 5,000 viruses. The photo below backs up the claim.

It had 2 more scans while I was there the 1st was an AVG Anti Virus boot disc. Then a Kaspersky Rescue Disk and finally a scan with Norton I personally seen both programs snag another 2,000 viruses. Making a grand total of over 7,000 viruses.

Imagine if that was on your PC.

I am a strong supporter of Nanny Programs when you have kids around. Programs that limit what they can and can’t do. There are some repair people including Geek Squad that would of charged these poor people more than what the PC was worth to fix the problem. But at least my friend is both fair and honest.
