Absolutely it does. If you say, "I've fixed it," you've arguably agreed to assume liability (as one of the earlier bits of conversation brought out) for the further good operation. If you've missed some piece of malware that then goes on to capture sensitive personal data...

...not a position I'd want to be in. And most of the clients I had back when I was working on home systems understood that, once I explained it to them. After all, the name of the game is user education. If they're engaging in risky practices, they need both the negative feedback (the inconvenience of having the drive wiped) and the positive feedback (okay, here's where you probably picked that up, and here's ways to browse more safely) if they're going to learn something about using their computer more intelligently.
