The majority of folk want the protection they just don't know where or how
to go about getting help.  I'm literally the one eyed man in the land of the
blind here in WNC.  As such I'm constantly getting calls & referrals (even
from the cable guys) to help people disinfect and securer their computers.
Likely not doing the job as well as it might but I've gotten more than my
share of home backed brownies from nice little old ladies who do appreciate
the effort.
