So I hand her a disk with "MandrakeMove" on it and tell her to boot from cdrom get on the net and download the antivirus file they need to clean the harddrive and get back on track. Guess what ? It worked like a charm. The "Move" found all their hardware, detected their internet connection, gave them access and allowed them to d/l the needed files. Sweet, I told her "now you know why I like linux and MandrakeLinux in particular" She said she did and her brother-in-law was having a similar problem so she gave him the disk to try out linux cause he is sick of winders and looking for a change. Yessssss! One computer at a time and on some days maybe two at a time. : ))
