Hmmm,
                 Seems that the "bugs" don't actually cause the computer 
to fail
Rather, they cause the computer user to freak out. Two solutions:

                a) Suggest training sessions to desensitize user to fear
                     of bugs.

                b) Examine ecological imbalance in user's living quarters
                      to remedy the source of the bugs.


                                                                                                   
Cheers,
