I myself have fix two family computers, reinstalled XP on my desktop and rebuilt the family laptop twice in the last two weeks. So I'll be quiet happy if I don't do any for a long while.

Thanks to a coincidental trial run of an off-site backup utility, it means I can only think of one thing, and one thing alone that I've lost, and that one thing isn't worth mentioning. And yes, it feels good to delete stuff, unfortunately, in the meantime I've had to install Linux, so although my main hard drive is almost empty (6Gb out of 227Gb), it still feels like I'm wading through treacle wearing tennis bats on my feet!

I had the same thing happened last week. Chinese computer, so I clicked yes at some point without fully understanding and wham....malware. Luckily have everything backed up. But isn't it good to delete all that crap and have drives with gbs of space? I feel like I have a new pc! That sucks. I had the same thing happened last week.
