I think that the user was too quick to assume that the computer "had a virus or something". If he thought it might have a virus, why didn't he try an anti-virus program first? It sounds very much like the user had the reaction many inexperienced users have: "The computer doesn't do what I think it should be doing: it must be a virus!" -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca> Mekaro en Otavo, Kanado, 18-20 majo 2013: http://mekaro.ca/
