VaKo Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Classic!! (but if we're playing the numbers game i've seen far more on one system, no pictures to prove it so i won't say numbers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddox Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Oh yeah, I've seen much larger numbers (about 20,000 I think). The trick is the exact number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Holy cow! Never seen more then 10000 (and i usually just sigh, nuke it and start again above 5000). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBlack Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 An our school computers this numbers get astronomical. But if i find something on my computer I just format windows. Its the ONLY antivirus that kills any threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neod101 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Isn't that kinda like dropping a tactical nuke on a city to deal with a litter problem? But not so tactical. And if it's a school computer then lots of work will be lost if it isn't backed up on a disk/external drive or server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W4RP3D Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 At my last job I did the "Anti-virse treatment" on a pc that had been on 512mb broaband for a month with out any virus protection there was a total of 5900 spyware/adware and bout 200 viruses. It was so bad the machine to 30 mins to boot. In the end all I could do was formate it and reinstall windows (thanks to the registery being screwed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddox Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Caveman, I would at least image the C: drive with Norton Ghost or similar, so I wouldn't have to run through the installation process every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtain a better version of windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Can't you use VMWare's snapshot feature for the same effect? Roll back any file system changes between sessions, and make a new snapshot after every Microsoft patch day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neod101 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 or don't go on pron sites too much, they are shitful of crap (how do i know you ask?) Because everyone knows that regardless of whether they've been to one or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
