There's one lady I know that needs her PC cleaned once a month.

This I was working on had a ton of viruses and spyware and no fewer than six different toolbars. The funny thing is that my brother's wife is the same way. For several years she used their regular desktop computer (this one I was working on is a laptop my niece got for Christmas last year) and 2-3 times per year it was so bogged down with spyware and viruses I would have to spend a few hours cleaning it up. I tell them how to avoid them, but they don't listen and are back in the same places again 3-4 months later.
The desktop computer in their house is so full of spyware and viruses it is unusable and would need to basically be reformatted and given a fresh install to fix its problems so now it just sits there and is never used so it looks like the laptop is the new victim.
