If you choose NOT to press the button then this is basically neutral. The only bad thing about it is the hassle of having coming to your doorstep. Similar to a salesman.

Well, it does have one downside; it shows that there are mysterious strangers like this in the world, randomly enriching people who are willing to kill for wealth. I wouldn't sleep very easily in such a world. Though come to think of it, I probably wouldn't believe him in the first place.

I use Windows so my computer already crashes once a day.

My windows machine never crashes (despite what the criminally false apple advertisements would like you to believe). In the 90s windows crashed a lot, and apples crashed even more. Now windows almost never crash and macs crash from time to time.

If I install a program that can deliberately crash my computer, and I run that once per day before I do anything else important on my computer, does that make it crash-proof?

If I have a computer that is in a state that *guaranteed* not to crash no matter what I do to it, that opens up a lot of interesting possibilities.

@derksenmobile No. >:( Your computer crashes once per day IN ADDITION to any other crashes that might happen non-magically.
