What is the biggest amount of infections in a computer you fixed?

Using Avast! of course :slight_smile:

The biggest amount I fixed was 60,000 I think there is even still more and doing a boot scan took 4 hours just clicking the button to move to vault ughh…

When an infection is that great, the only smart thing to do is to
format the hard drive and start again from scratch.
There isn’t an anti-virus program made that will restore your computer to
a usable state with that many infections. IMHO

The person’s who I fixed never had a back-up or windows install disk…

Hi alexthegreat,

How was it possible to infect a computer that badly, the owner of this machine must have been a complete n00b,

polonus

Let’s say the owner of that machine was being a rebel online. Suprisingly they had avast! (3 years out of date :o ) and spybot… imagine how much he would have without security?!

Then their friends when they saw I fixed it, they said I knew NOTHING about computers just because I dislike macs, and I was able to clean it.

They didn’t even patch their system.

Not bad but this is a first scan with Malwarebytes
