Most of the time it's like, old lady has managed to forget her password for her email or needs adobe reader installed or some shit, you'd be amazed how much work there is if you put up an advert. It will require you to take a phone call (or just get an answering machine..?) and then you can call back - that way you're in charge of the conversation and can make it ultra quick. Or yes, using google to get rid of Viruses or just reinstall Windows for them.
If you get a reputation for being reliable and friendly and can just give brief explanations to people of how to just use their email or whatever, word WILL get round...
Even I have considered this tom. People seem to be completely thick with computers. Especially in suffolk where the population is aging! Ive earnt £60 just off a neighbours wifi driver continuously needing to be reinstalled. And thats just a friendly £20 each time. If you charged £40+ a call out within a radius of where you live then youd be onto money and you can always walk away from hard jobs.
As everyone has said its mostly viruses which either you fix by updating their AV or by installing windows!
