virusinfestation
I bill flat rate for virus removal, so they're never unhappy. They are
unhappy with the place down the road that "fixed" their problem by
reinstalling Windows and then left them with three days of work finding
their CDs and reinstalling and configuring their programs.
I wonder how many will agree that after a year or two a format and reinstall
job is needed anyway to get rid of the crud. In most situations that crud is
the name brand install process. I do a clean install. I know it runs far
better after I finish than it did when it came out of the box. That makes
the format job worthwhile.
I wish somebody would benchmark my work. Take any computer out of its box
and benchmark it. Let me to my thing and then benchmark it again. It will
yield far better results.
