I once took a Win98 machine that had a 8+ minute boot up time, and got it down to under 2 minutes after cleaning off the viruses/adware crap.

I've personally seen ~1,100 entries with Adaware on a scan of my friend's computer. He was using AOL Dialup. Guess you get what you pay for, which in this case is the computer equivalent of syphillus.

If I were so inclined, I could scrub about that much bullsh!t off of my cousin's computer on a weekly basis.

For obvious reasons, I leave him to suffer.

I think if you have 5000 or more you should be auto-convicted of some sort of crime.... maybe extreme recklessness?

amature ;) I once took a 98 machine that was taking 30min. to complete the boot sequence, got it down to ~2min. (no antivirus, and spyware out the ying yang, it took me over 6 hours to clean my aunts pc.)

LMAO. Most I've seen is around 700 spyware entires. Not a whole lot, but enough to be a pain in the ass.

I've cleaned one with around 3,000 infected files. But it was one of those that targets and replaces mp3's, so actually it was just one virus that spread.

But it looked damn impressive and made the money I charged them seem worth it.

Not even close to some of the amazing counts I have hit scanning school system computers.
