Between worms, spam, viruses, et al, I just get depressed.

I'm with you brother. About 90% of the time when I go to someone's house to "fix" their slooooow computer, it's running about 20 pieces of spyware. That's usually the only thing wrong. That and of course the compulsive need to NEVER delete anything. Ever. Including the 15,000 spam emails parked in their inbox. I guess it's akin to a good mechanic changing oil. Not exactly glamorous, but it still needs to be done. Even if it IS boring and mindless.
