I do PC repair for Deputy's at my department for free because I enjoy it and because they understand that it will get done when I get to it which might be 2 days or 2 months depending on what is going on. The one overriding principle of PC repair that I have learned from this experience is this: KIDS DESTROY COMPUTERS!

Actually, that is a bit of an overstatement. They really only destroy data by letting in viruses and spyware. Although this can also leave you with a potentially dangerous situation if hackers are able to retrieve sensitive data from your computer. But before you go berating little Billy for letting in all those viruses you should know that kids and the websites they frequent are often specifically targeted because hackers know they are:

1. Impatient
2. Just knowledgeable enough about computers to get themselves in trouble

Most of the time it is not even worth it to try and get rid of the viruses and spyware your little ones let in. It is much faster and easier to just wipe the hard drive and start over. Most of the time I recommend to people to have a seperate older computer that their kids can use, but now there is a better choice provided by Microsoft.

SteadyState from Microsoft is a free download for Windows XP and Windows Vista that allows you to create users on your computer that are kept at arms length from the rest of the system (and sensitive data), and any damage done while they are using you computer can be undone by simply rebooting they system.

Download SteadyState from Microsoft today and save yourself an expensive GeekSquad bill!
