Could we make it a monthly class? Like this meeting we're going to discuss good antivirus products, next class good antimalware, and last class best internet practices to avoid both. People aren't going to lug in a broken computer just to have it not get fixed. I'm sure enough members have broken/failing computers lying around, it might be worthwhile to show people how to replace components, or reformat HDDs. Sort of jumping off your 'Build a PC' class. Someone might be intimidated by wiring up a MoBo but swapping a disc drive or replacing/upgrading RAM might be less daunting.
