The broken window fallacy pertains to an economy as a whole, not to any individual person. In the classic broken window fallacy, the glassmaker benefits, but the economy as a whole suffers because an item (the window) was destroyed. Plenty of people profit handsomely dealing with Windows problems, but society as a whole suffers for it (the money spent on anti-virus software, cleanups, etc. would be better spent on something which builds wealth).
