The highest I've seen is one of my roommate's computers last year. He's the least computer literate out of the four of us and even he only had about 130 or so, I think. Most I've ever seen on any of my machines is about 10 or 15, all tracking cookies.

I fix computers for the public. I can't even tell you the worst, as there are several that take 10 minutes to fully boot all the malware. I just usually reformat them and tell them tough luck. That is if they don't have any truly sensitive data that need recovered.

Viruses and Spyware have been great to me. I've made several hundred dollars repairing computers infected with this crap. :D
