67 Thousand

67,000 pieces of malware

I'm cleaning up a computer for someone and this is what Adaware found. The most critical objects I had ever seen it find was around 800. Sixty-seven thousand, seven-hundred and four! Granted, most of thost are registry values that probably came from the the same piece of malware, but dang! 67,704! Notice that there weren't any processes or modules. That's because I was running in safe mode. So, once I boot it back into regular mode, I'll probably find some more crap. This computer has 256 MB of memory and when I got it was basically at a standstill. It took 5 minutes to open a program. Don't let this happen to you. Get Firefox. Better yet, get a Mac.

That is seriously one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen. Nuts I tell you. People need to stop clicking on crap.

I think I had that virus over the winter. Basically it just copies itself a lot, and makes your computer slow.
