look in the log for your virus scanner and it will probably show how many files it checked
mcaffee reports:
Files scanned : 623226

I'm in the same pack. 500+ K here. Wonder, what are all these files about? Wanted to get them in order for months, actually.

99.99999% of virii can be avoided provided you get rid of stupid people, you don't use Outlook Express and you don't click on executable attachments.

Speaking of executable attachments a line like "I can execute your attachments" is rather kinky. :)
