"How many people are there that earn more than $150,000, use P2P software and don't know how to lock down their hard drive."

IMHO there are many people like this. And they have an infection worse than most spyware. Spreads all kinds of problems - it is called teenage kids!!

High earning parent, not an IT expert (as they have an IT guy in the office to sort those things). Parent problally doesn't even know what a "hard drive" is (bet you they just point at the tower itself...)

Teenage kids at home with access to the "family" PC. Their mates tell them about "free music". So they install all kinds of rubbish P2P networks, ringtones, free games. And, of course, the male teenagers surfing Pr0n sites they find via Google.....

My job? To fix home PCs which get into this state. I think teenagers are great. Make me so much money fixing this. LoL. I am heading out to another fresh client now. LoL In fact, it is now a standard question: "How old is that PC? Do you have teenagers? Males? Ahhhh..."
