I would buy a van and drive around offering virus removal services. I think that could really be successful in the right market.

  A market without the Internet would probably not be the right one. :-)

    That's what Iran thought too. :-)

    Viruses were widespread on platforms like the Commodore Amiga well before the wide-spread adoption of the internet.

  When I was in high school in 1999 I worked for a guy that drove around a motor home "fixing computers" which was basically a mobile virus scan and removal operation. I guess there was the internet then, but it was still very, very limited. A lot of people didn't have it. I got the first virus on my computer before it was internet connected. Instead it was from a floppy disk from a friend. It took days, and days to figure out how to remove it.
