Who opperates these computers? Do five simple things: 1. back everything up, 2. delete spam regularly, 3. use auto updates on Windows XP, 3. use a firewall, 4. always have a copy of windows to reinstall should your system crash. You shouldn't even need a paid for virus checker. I run 5 computers in my house, do all of these things and I have only once needed that reinstall disk in the last 5 years. Surely it is not the pc's but their inept users that need fixing.
