I'm wondering if they simply install everyday antivirus software, scan, then remove them, or if they have specific software designed for this (ie software targeted at technicians). If so, I'd like to know the name of the software if possible! :) I already know that bestbuy/geeksquad has their own software that runs a bunch of free antivirus/spyware apps, I'm wondering about some of the other retailers, or the average computer shops.

I am a technical analyst currently working for a company with 150 computers. I am in charge of all maintenance, repairs, upgrades etc. But I am also in charge of the dept i.e. budget, purchasing, administrating, researching, etc. I'm also in charge of the phone system, cell phones, security systems etc. I am making a business case, stating that we need to hire a 2nd IT person. In your opinion, what is a good ratio for one IT person and the number of pc's. example one IT technician can be in charge of 60 computers etc. thanks!

I really enjoy working around home entertainment electronics. However my knowledge is random, tit-bits, basically hear-say type. Where can I get formal training in home audio-video? I would "love" to be able to take up a part time job as a home theatre installer or a sales-person or a support technician in a specialized audio-video store. (Actually I can not imagine any fancy more exciting than being in the middle of high-end AV equipment and getting paid for it!) Where can I start?

Is this an avionics mechanic? I can't find a lot of info on this. I took flying lessons, about 20 hours, but never finished. I don't think it's something I would pursue as a career anymore, but I just love planes. I want to work on them so I was thinking of going to a trade school to be certified for this.

ITurned on the heat and it wouldnt work. It started working about 10 minutes later and the smell has gone away. Not sure is this all related to the heat, furnace. Or is there something electrical going on to? The smell is gone and the heat is working now? The belt is getting old. and we've known that it might be going, but if the belt stopped working for awhile, would it still be working now? Help? My friend says see if it does it again. Or should i just call a heating specialist?

I have been out of school for a few years and happily employed, but I know I will never truly be happy unless i figure out how to help people enjoy the technology that is available to them. Anyone have any similar stories that found their way from a typical engineering job into this field? Any suggestions on ways to do this? Thanks
