Oh give me a break and be practical for once. I've not had a single virus or spyware on my Windows box for over 3 years. We've had Rony on the list who had to reinstalled Windows after a considerable amount of time. If you use it properly, its pretty manageable. Yeah every customer in the cafe might not, but then in the cafe I converted, the owner would run anti-spyware and anti-virus scans thoroughly every night before he left. He hadn't had a problem even once.
Neat solution no. Run av on all machines all night pay for bijlee, pay for AV pay for man all night and continue blowing your profits. Not to mention the frequent registry and dll corruptions and inevitable reinstall. Ahh one can always automate the process.
There was a long thread a few years back on hardware compat, prices, etc for cyber cafes. It will cost you substantial money to maintain the doze poisons strewn all over the os and cyber space. Further the cyber cafe software cost is priced at Rs.100. Policeman is proly going to add a zero to that per month. If u think cyberbhai's going to buy licences (or pay you for maintaining linux boxes) just forget it.
