Well Windows is STILL really bad.

I had a customer that was running XP SP2  with automatic updates, AVG7
and MS Antispyware. He still managed to render the machine unusable. I
had installed firefox for him but I think he forgot to use it.

I had to come around and take his account off admin and (create a new
admin account for him that I named "God") and install Trend internet
security. After two hours of adaware, ms anti spyware, hijack this,
regedit and spybot S&D later his machine was usable again.

Next time I will install Linux I told him :)
