What gets me is these people never update ANYTHING. There may be a screen nagging them to install an update, but they just click cancel. Every time they start their computer. "oh thats something that pops up every time i start...But i ignore it." Then when i scan, they have over 50 viruses and over 1000 instances of spyware. And when they ask how i know how to do all these things, I roll my eyes and say, "cause everybody does the same exact thing."

I mean, How hard is it to let Windows Automatically update every friday? or have Anti Virus update definitions automatically and scan once a week? Or even once a month...

It IS hard to schedule updates and scans for people without a clue who hook to the net via dialup and only turn their machines on for an hour a day or so at random hours to check mail or whatever. That's why I teach people how to do updates and drill it into their skulls that it has to be done EVERYDAY whenever they bootup. It's a kludge I know, but like most good kludges it works
