massive viral infestation - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

So I have this client that has a bit of a virus problem.

This is not an edited picture; it is really that bad, before you get out your calculators, it’s roughly 35% of all the files on the drive were viruses.

Can anyone top this?

holy hell....

cant say that for viruses.. most spyware i've came across was about 40,000 in around 100,000+ files

family had 6 user accounts on the comp age ranged from 7+

Sweet merciful crap! I havent seen anything that bad since the funlove virus hit a LAN party that I was at.

I suspect most of those files were created by the virus--Ive never seen a computer with that many files on it. Most dont go far above 100,000. But, I cant top it

Id probably nuke the machine at that point. What did you do?

They need to find the box their PC came in, and ship it back to the company.

Theyare too stupid to own a PC.

i removed all the viruses copied the data to my storage, formated the drive split it into 2 partitions, and dropped it back to one of them. the new OS goes on the other partition.
