I reformatted a hard drive for my cousin's friend
His computer was really messed up. Spyware,malware,virii, all from searching for free porn. He couldn't even get online his computer was so messed up.

He was so happy to see his computer screaming fast after I cleaned it, he gave me a handful of kind bud to pay me.

Not a bad days of work.

1. Sounds liike he wasn't using protection at all

Tell him to use Avast or AVG, Spybot Search and Destroy, and any browser but Internet Exploder. But if he doesn't want to do that, he could keep you happy for a long time.

2. Spybot is a great program
You know, now that I think about it, I didn't tell him how to protect himself. All I told him was quit looking for free porn. I'll give him a buzz later today..

3. Well you can still
look for free porn, just as long as you do it right.

...The first step being, of course, to install protection.
