Cleared 1000 computers of the same malware this year
I just checked my logs and saw I've removed the same fake antivirus popup from over 1000 different machines since January. It's always the same one, mostly from people in my town clicking bad links. I'm starting to think we need a better way to warn users than just fixing it after the fact. What's the most common repeat problem you guys see in your shops?

Oh yeah, I've pulled the same fake virus popup off my uncle's laptop so many times I'm starting to think he's doing it on purpose just to get me to swing by for dinner. At this point I'm less of a tech and more of a broken record that costs $50 a pop.

Man, my own grandma got that one twice. Starting to feel like a digital janitor with how often I'm cleaning up the same mess.

Ugh, tell me about it. I swear the same three scams just rotate through my whole family group chat. We all need hazard pay for this junk.
