My view on this has recently changed. It was that I would do any computer work for family that they needed, no big deal. Recently, however, my fathers computer has gotten all sorts of spyware and many other problems, to the point that i find myself removing something daily, it seems running AdAware isn't quite as easy as shouting my name. Being that i'm only 16, i obviously dont know the answers to all of his questions, and when a piece of spyware/adware comes back (virtual bouncer being a good example) it's my fault i didnt fix it correctly in the first place...my response to this attitude? There's a computer shop in town, and a tech center where i work (staples) and i'm sure they could take care of it 'correctly'.
