    One thing you left out that I find critical and something I do for all my clients is a discovery to try and identify how they got infected in the first place. I firmly believe an educated user is one that wont have to hire me in the first place. I know its taking money out of my pocket but I cannot in good conscience not try and help them understand what they did wrong. Of course there are those times when you cant figure it out but most of those I believe are because the client lied about something like telling me they was not visiting porn sites when they was...;)

    Question regarding disk cleanup though, i've used it a bit in the past, but for some odd reason it doesn't actually seem to be deleting/cleaning anything, because I would run it (mainly to free up space on on whichever drive), hit the "clean up system files" option, it'll scan and it'll say i'll have like 556MB of stuff to clean, check the boxes, hit ok, then go to restart my system, but when I look at my drive i'll have even LESS space than before and if I run DC again it'll give me a whole new amount (200MB now) i'm able to clean (keep in mind I tried running this multiple times sayme thing happened). Wondering if you know the cause this and the solution cause it's been almost a year since i've used the tool and not sure whether I should go back to try using it especially since i've read stories where disk cleanup even deleted someone's hard drive while others face the same problem with it just not cleaning up files.

I have various backups of everything so it's no real issue to do a reinstall.

So I installed it, put in the key code on the side of the computer, and I get (you have a counterfeit system on your computer) and now after 29 days I get please activate pop ups which stops whatever I am doing. OK, I tried activating and the activation site doesn't seem to exist anymore. Now I am only using this system to play games, so it isn't even hooked to the internet except to download patches for the games. So if you want the biggest virus ever made buy Microsoft!

    I get a lot of customers that think they have a virus, because their pc is running slow, or they get adverts on certain Web sites. Most of the time it's because they don't use their pc often or long enough to do the windows or antivirus updates, turn in once a week for 10 minutes to check their emails, then turn off before it gets chance to update, then next time the pc has double the work to catch up.

      no those are fake pop ups! Just turn off the notifications to disable it and clear your data for your browser!
