That generally means two things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your family don&#8217;t understand what you do (e.g. &#8220;Mark works in computers&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>Your family and friends think that because you &#8220;work in computers&#8221; that you can fix their PC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I fell foul of this a couple of times over the last few days. The first time was no big deal &#8211; a few months back, I had given my parents an old laptop and now they are really getting into e-mail and the web; however it was booting very slowly because a well-intended friend of theirs had installed the popular (and free for non-commercial use) <a href=\"http:\/\/free.grisoft.com\/\">AVG Anti-Virus<\/a> (along with a load of unnecessary applications) and it was performing a full scan on every boot (I had already installed Symantec AntiVirus which was working quite nicely in a far less obtrusive manner). Once I removed AVG, performance was back to normal&#8230; so much for well-intentioned friends.<\/p>\n<p>The second instance was last night, when my brother said he&#8217;d applied some updates to his PC and now he couldn&#8217;t get into Excel. That was easy enough (Microsoft Office XP required the original media to complete installation of an update), but I decided to check out the general state of the PC and was a little alarmed. Because the PC is only connected to the Internet via a modem, downloading updates takes a long time &#8211; automatic updates will trickle feed and my brother had kept his anti-virus definitions up-to-date but it still needed a lot of attention. <a href=\"http:\/\/update.microsoft.com\/\">Microsoft Update<\/a> told me that it would need most of the night to download it&#8217;s updates, so I took it home (disconnected everything else from my LAN as a precaution) and hooked it up to my ADSL line, before spending the next couple of hours downloading and applying 61 Microsoft updates (as well as updating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lavasoft.com\/products\/ad-aware_se_personal.php\">AdAware SE Personal Edition<\/a>, which was over 700-days out of date).<\/p>\n<p>Having given the PC a clean bill of health with AdAware (luckily the dial-up connection had minimised the spyware threat and it just had 52 tracking cookies to remove), I decided to check out another tool that, ironically, an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/support\/windowsvirus\/\">Apple support page<\/a> had alerted me to the existence of &#8211; the <a href=\"http:\/\/safety.live.com\/\">Windows Live OneCare Safety Scan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other antivirus vendors have online scanners (e.g. <a href=\"http:\/\/us.mcafee.com\/root\/mfs\/\">McAfee<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/security.symantec.com\/\">Symantec<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/housecall.trendmicro.com\/\">Trend Micro<\/a>) but the advantage of the Microsoft version is that the full scan checks for viruses, spyware, disk fragmentation, temporary files, redundant registry data, and open network ports &#8211; what would appear to be a fairly thorough healthcheck, all through one ActiveX control.<\/p>\n<p>Another feature is that you can run individual scans for protection, cleaning up or tuning the system (each effectively a component of the full scan described above). Finally, for Windows Vista users, the Windows Live OneCare site also provides a beta for a Vista-aware full service safety scan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on the content I write, I imagine that most readers of this blog will be IT professionals.
