I visited a new customer today that set the record for the most viruses and spyware on a single system. The computer had no anti-virus program of any sort on it, no anti-spyware system, was running the first version of XP, and on dial-up. Needless to say, the computer was hosed and it took more than six hours to clean-up (between what I did in two hours, and the four hours I let the user take care of in secondary scans and cleanup).
The customer made a comment that I hear often in this situation, "This kind of thing makes work for you, huh?." My standard answer, "Yes, but it is the worst part of my job. Why? Because this is so preventable."
Again, it comes down to the main reason Adam and I do the radio show every week and work so darn hard on this web site: WE WANT TO EDUCATE EVERY COMPUTER USER IN THE WORLD ON HOW TO PROPERLY USE AND CARE FOR THEIR COMPUTER. The information for properly taking care of a computer (and in many cases fixing a common problem) all exist on this very site. However, if no one seeks out the information, it won't magically be downloaded or transmitted into user's brains via osmosis.
Our show is entering its ninth year in this town of less than 50,000 people, my business is in its twelfth year, Adam's is in it's sixth or seventh year, my computer users group is in it's ninth year and yet we are known by less than 25% of our community if that. Our information is free, easy to understand, and available 24/7 via any Internet computer.
The information within this site can save any computer user hundreds of dollars per year and hours of time and frustration…if it is used.
Please help us, help you, and your family, and your neighbor, and your friends. Spread the word about HelpMeRick.com…today, tomorrow, AND next Thursday.
We do our best to spread the word, but two guys can't do it alone.
