This machine was one that came into my shop about a month ago.

I scanned it afterwards with nod32 and picked up another 1600.

If there were nearly 10,000 viruses I wonder how many trojans were also infecting it? I also wonder if that might be a recordbreaker? How did the machine manage to even work at all with all that on it? Thanks for showing it to us Bob!

The harddrive was slaved to a shop machine so i could backup her data. I had to run the scans first to avoid getting the shop machine or her new installation compromised by infected files.

AVG picks up trojans along with worms and regular viruses.

well it says there are that many infected files, could just be one virus i guess.. which is what always concerns me. One stray program can destroy so much.

The worst I have seen is a couple of thousand.
