So I had this client. . .

[episodic]

She had over 42 viruses (per clamwin), had at least 26 things in the taskbar on startup. Had multiple search bars all over the place. The person still had napster installed on their computer (win98) and had every filesharing client that you could think of since then. They wanted me to 'clean' it up. I told em - I could - but I would charge a shitload of money to sit there and do it. I told em I'd cleaninstall their license of win98 for 75$ and 25$ to back up whatever they deemed relevant.

I'd never seen a system that bad.

The odd thing was there was not a single mp3 on it - anywhere.

It was a pentiumIII 667 with 128 megs of ram - not a bad win98 system. It dook 183 seconds from boot to usable windows. Sheesh.

guess they were downloading pr0n!

Anyways...did a scan on my aunt's system once on a visit (3 kids in house share computer)...974 items between (viruses, spyware, etc..) I've never seen worse. I'm surprised the damn thing booted up.
