I know, when I was working, one guy would charge an arm and a leg to cleanup PCs.
Then, I would come by and tell them how to do it themselves. This guy just hated me.
If you teach them to use the right tools, they wouldn't get infected in the first place.

100% there my man, i hate people getting ripped off, friend of mine was told he needed a new sound card, i took one look at the "non existant sound card" all i did was roll back the driver an it worked again, dude was calling me a genious (cant spell that one), so i showed him what to do if it went funny an he got hold of the dude an my god did the guy shout down the phone, its people like us who get a bad rep cause of people who make the rep, when people meet good guys like us its like Xmas to em, i love the feeling of people happy with my work, its like being told well done as a kid so to speak

One more piece of advice if I may. It would make it much simpler if you could use backup software
in case something weird would happen to the OS like an Windows update that somehow screwed up
your OS or a bad driver. This is just a precaution that everyone should know how to use. makes it
allot easier to recover than to start over again. I also use System Restore. Again, just as a precaution.
Do know that, using System Restore, you would Have to exit (not uninstall) any 3rd party security software
or suite otherwise, the restore will fail.
