Just curious what you are asked to do most, this doesn't include hardware

For me, it's networking or cleaning out the computer from spyware

"fixing" the computer, which involves cleaning out malware, then a reformat.

Asks me if they can use the internet at my place.

All my computers are hidden. Unless you know me, you probably couldn't tell I use them professionally and as a hobby

For those doing spyware, what all do you run? Do any of you just tell them to run a certain program?

I tell them to create an user account (with no administrative privileges) and log onto that one.

at work, it's mostly problems with outlook, like they can't connect or something.. or their contacts are "magically gone"
