techrecoveryStudent laptop dropped off, asked if I could have a look.
Let's see, what's wrong with it...
1. McAfee. V7. Last updated February 2003.
2. The spyware. Oh my.
3. AOL. The poor, innocent Dell (... ok, not so poor or innocent then!) is running.. AOL.
Due to the machine being so trashed by viruses and spyware, AOL stopped working. Not necessarily a bad thing, mind... so, what did the AOL "tech" recommend? Formatting the hard drive. Then buying a Mac.
... what?!? Did the black satellite beam down teh st00p1d ray while I was on holiday last week?!!?
GAAAHHHH! AOL!!!
