Currently with computer repair there is very much MANY myths one is:

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, give a man a rod and you loose a useful economic
resource that can no longer be tapped daily.

This I think is simply not true. If I spend an hour teaching you how to remove viruses then the chances are you next time you have an issue, instead of looking for a fix that is one time you will look to learn more about the thing you have done to get the virus in the first place.
