You know this how? I have removed a lot of viruses and malignant programs for my friends. Sometimes it is only a 3 second matter other times it can take me hours...Than again I don't use virus scanners unless I can't identify it. When you run a virus scan it can take up to 3 hours depending on the PC to do a scan and if you don't you are usually working on a very screwed up computer in windows explorer will mostly be usuing 99% of resources by the time I hear of it or in macs that damn colorwheel keeps spinning. It isn't just a matter of disabling the virus but to remove it and restoring old files that were changed and resetting internet settings that have been hijacked. So what you are telling me rendo is that in 30 minutes you can identify all of the viruses and spyware a PC may have on it...then you are able to identify the files for removal and go through the process of removing them including process killing or flesh them out in a command prompt enviroment. In windows you are able to identify the registry keys it changed that fast? or are you just talking about running Ad-aware, Hijack this, AV scan from boot? Either way it is going to take at least an hour....Or what you don't charge for your time while on the job./... I call that a crappy business man.
