NEW VIRUS RECORD!!

[Mr. Rude]

Just home & I had to share this one...

19,637 virii found ....LMFAO!!

Apparently the customers comp. was "running really slow & acting funny".

Anyone get a scan with more ?

19,000 viruses!?!?! How could the computer even operate?

I'd think the computer would just blow itself up and burst into flames with that many viruses in it.

I had a co-working that found 20K items in Ewido.

19,000?!
That is not a small number.
That is a BIG number.

It is a wonder that compy worked at all. I'd guess there weren't any particularly malicious ones running or their computer would really be dead. Wow. People astound me.

I just had another one today who was buying a new computer because the old one got really messed up by virus and spyware infections. Yet, they refused my offer to set up their security for them and said, quote, "Gateway makes a good computer. I won't need to bother with anti-virus crap. It just slows stuff down anyway." Ugh.

And then they'll get mad at YOU for not putting it on there.

Virus = Very Yes

"Gateway makes a good computer. I won't need to bother with anti-virus crap. It just slows stuff down anyway."

Of the three statements made here, I'm not sure which to laugh at the most.

"Gateway makes a good computer. I won't need to bother with anti-virus crap. It just slows stuff down anyway."

OMG. That person deserves to have their computer commit sideways, hopefully while they are in the middle of doing something important on it.

I think if I ran a scan that showed 19,000 viruses on my computer, I'd just drop a match on it and walk away.

Or tell him to back up his data and call back so we can format it....

I would have gone, "Oh f*ck this." and given in back to them. Done that on more than one persons computer where they DID NOT want to reformat, but have it "cleaned up" instead. Since they were not paying me I could get away with that.

[trunks2k]

I don't know whether that makes me sad.... or really really impressed. Getting that many viruses takes effort.

[Rapscallion]

Well, bear in mind that some of those will be trojans used to download multiple virii, so some will be self-perpetuating to a certain extent - or breeding. It's still a shedload of virii, though...

Raps nailed it

He came by today to pick up his system...I had the "honor" of billing him for the format & reload

....& a nice shiny install of norton 07...meh
