The key is not how many you found, it is, did you find all of them.

Edit: nevermind.

As geeky as this sounds, there's no feeling like bringing a computer back to life. I love it.

Wow. That's impressive.

Highest I've seen on a single machine is around 1500.

Lola's father had close to 3,000. I thought that was bad!

I installed Firefox on my sister's computer and removed access to IE and the spyware problems went away.

8,547 pieces were found on a clients PC once. I told him that we were going to have to wipe his drive and start over.

Once it's > 0 I stop counting. I just want to see 0.

For example at the program level it's much lower, most of those 4000 are probably cookies or something not really a direct issue.
