LMAO!! aww reminds me of my tech support days.

There was a picture I saw before and it said "goes to parents for thanksgiving, 5 new toolbars in IE :( "

made me lol

yesterday I worked on some guys laptop.

He had Vista and was missing Sp2. Had a really old version of java, almost every 3rd party application was out of date and for Antiviruses he had..

Microsoft Security Essentials

Windows Defender

Mcafee Internet Security

Web Root secure anywhere

PC tools antispyware + Antivirus.

and Symantec endpoint (think that's what it was called)

All were either trials or expired. Except for the endpoint I think the college gave him that one.

That is funny warwagon, but nearly as funny as when I was working IT for a local insurance firm, and had to replace a computer because the old lady who worked the cubicle kept watering her fake plastic plant sitting on top of it...

...Or that time a customer repeatedly called us about his PC sporadically hanging and the HDD clicking. We sent the local IT guys on location, the side of the PC case had 38 of those fridge magnets on it....

Didn't they disprove the whole magent and hard drive thing?

No idea.

But fact is, with them there the problems arose, without them everything was fine. This was then tested a bit more by the local site admin where,a t least in this case, the influence of magnets was confirmed.

For fun, he then organised a day called "bring in your fridge magnet". The whole PC case was covered with fridge magnets. The PC wouldn't even boot.
