Does anyone fix someone's computer who uses P2P software?
The thing is, that my friend who lives with us does, and every other week, he bugs me to remove a virus that his antivirus scanner detected and other stuff that is deemed illegal. I keep on telling him that since he complains about this stuff, to stop the P2P downloading and set his account as a limited user to prevent software from installing, but he says that I can do it everytime.
We got into an argument about what's ethical and whatnot and he was giving me all of this nonsense about how its okay and stuff. I then got to a point where I almost snapped at him but I realized what I was doing, so I just left the area to cool down.
Did I handle the situation correctly? Should I continue to clean his computer after he downloads all of those things infecting his computer? How would you handle it?
