I'm old enough to remember the days of DOS. And in Linux, most of my administration duties are carried out from the command line. Much faster and more efficient that way.
Yes, and yes!

By the way: here's A BIG SHOUT-OUT TO MCalavera for helping me check my computer behind the scenes and put my mind at rest!
*grabs MCalavera and gives him a great big hug* <------but I made sure it was a gentle one. That way, he won't feel it until tomorrow when he wakes up. It's still night time in Australia.

Thanks. I knew I felt something warm and cozy last night while I was asleep.
Anyway, next tip:
Know which forums to go to for free help with virus/malware issues.
Three forums I recommend are:
Bleeping Computer
Geeks to Go
MajorGeeks
Why do I recommend the above three?
Because, in those forums, only those qualified are allowed to help you out with your malware issues. And it's one helper at a time, not zillions of them with contradicting amateurish views. Yes, I'm talking to you here, all_white. The forum you go to is not a good one for such problems.
Besides, there, they have you run the real scanning tools like OTL, GMER, and so on.

MajorGeeks for the win!! !
Thank goodness you didn't list Microsoft Answers~♥
They're as little as no help at all.
Rarely they're helpful.

That would be the next tip
Whether online or offline, don't ever rely on Microsoft to help you out with your computer issues.

Oh dear. 
A public telling-off!
From now on, I will get my answers here, MCalavera. Those forums sound as though they might be "Geek Only" forums. Are you sure they wouldn't sneer at someone like me, who doesn't always know all the terminology? The only one I recognise is Bleeping Computer. Not that I have an account there, but it's come up in my search results before.

Sneer, terminology.
Two new words I've never heard of before

Of course they won't (at least not in your face). You and your likes are the reason they exist in the first place.

Format should always be used as a last resort.
Here, where I work, I always make sure the computer's Windows issues can be fixed without having to resort to format. Most of the time, it's successful (around 95%). But a few times, format was necessary. This is something major compared to other local computer stores in this area where format is actually encouraged in almost every case.
And they charge more for format, too.

Do you work in a computer shop? I don't know why, but I thought you worked in an office.
EC: sorry. Terminology = special words. Sneer = laugh at, tease, bully.

Terminology = special words. Sneer = laugh at, tease, bully. Are you referring to me? o.o (Finally! I learned how to spell referring correctly without error, yay!)
