max # of spyware found on a computer

[HTRN]

I repair PC's and Laptops for a living and the worst I've seen to date is a customers PC ( He had Limewire, which is just plain EVIL) with 43,000+ infected files as seen by AVG.

In the future , I'll take a screen shot if I can of massively infected PC's I get in my shop for ya.

Here's a pic of a PC that came in and the customer complained the fans were loud, oh and it was also infected with 23 virus's and he had NO anti-virus program

LoL. I do the same thing for a free time job and I have experienced similar situations, though not that many viruses. I had an older woman drop off her pc saying it wasn't working right. Of course she didn't have any anti-virus programs, basically nothing on the pc. It turns out she had about 3,000 viruses amassed from the last 4 or 5 years. The internals were of course coated in a thick blanket of dust. In fact I'm not really sure how the computer even worked. I wish I would have taken pics.

That one is pretty bad, but we've had a machine come if before that was infested with roaches. We bagged it up in a trash bag and returned it to the person because we refused to work on something that disgusting.
