He/she has a lot to lose if he/she f***s up. Go look at his/her credentials. His/her entire business is based on being helpful. So, yes, it's theoretically possible but I think highly unlikely with this site.

but this is what i do all day. Clean up computers that are infected, lots of the malware
comes from installed programs such as Driver Support. it is flagged as malware itself by most
anti-malware programs.
