View submission: Did you use Napster?

Napster, Limewire, Kazaa... Set up a bunch of downloads and go to sleep, and hope that the file name was accurate and not trolling.

Every computer that came into the shop because "it's running slow" had all of these programs installed. We'd uninstall them, scan the computer with 3 or 4 different malware scanners, then send them in their way.

Inevitably they'd be back in a few months with the same problems.

Loved those programs - great money makers.
