Tornado Rex Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Alright, so I'm fixing this computer today. sh*t's all wrong. Radom restarts, slow as all f*ck, etc etc you know the drill. Went ahead and did the following scans: Spybot, Ad-aware, AVG (all updated as of this post of course). Here's what it came up with. Spybot: 870-ish spyware thingies Ad-aware: 1200-ish spyware thingies (Deep scan, checking for low-risk threats) AVG: 376 viruses (mostly trojans, some worms) Jesus. I wonder what the hell was causing it to f*ck up... So then, let's here what you got. What is the most Viruses/Spyware sh*ts you've come up with in a single scan. Also, please list the program (because it just seems right to do, ya know?). ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segosa Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well a bit part of my job is cleaning up people's spyware infested computers, but ad-aware and spybot aren't left with much to detect because I remove spyware/adware as much as I can manually first (add/remove programs, etc).

Wolf68k Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 That pic was done on purpose to advertise FF. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ad-Aware part was completely Photoshop'ed. With that said, the sad thing is I have seen a system with so many toolbars installed into IE and running 800x600 that there was only about 1-2inches of viewable web page For spyware the worse I've seen from personal hands on cleaning is around 1800-ish or Ad-Aware (ran first) and then about 1000-ish for Spybot, and then add in about 30-ish more things that HijackThis picked up. Recently a lady's daughter's system I cleaned out was Ad-Aware 1112 (that is the exact number, and it was run first) followed by Spybot 97 items and lastly HijackThis found 4 more things but there was a 5th that I found at the same time I manually cleaned those 4. Viruses I can't remember the last time I came across a system with any large number of viruses to worry about which really a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magical_trevor Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 My next door neighbour's PC had about 30 viruses and Ad-aware found about 8000 problems, when I asked her why she hadn't done anything about it, she said she thought it was supposed to be like that..

anus Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The worst thing ever was when I first bought my PC, I didn't know anything about this adware, spyware, viruses, etc stuff so I didn't run a firewall, antivirus programme or any spyware programmes. And after about three years of use, my PC was slowing down a load, I can't play games, I get out of memory errors, all of that crap And after that I found GTAF and got this adware and viruses and stuff and then I downloaded and ran these programmes. I then found, 34 viruses on Norton (contained trojans, worms and viruses), 400ish from Spybot and 200ish from Ad-Aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmSixTeen Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 That pic was done on purpose to advertise FF. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ad-Aware part was completely Photoshop'ed. No, the old screenshot has floated around since before Firefox became the 'cool' thing. I've always found it amusing that the likes of the Google Toolbar are in it though.

Bond996 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I got about 6000 in ad-aware when I ran it on my neighbors, plus an additional 2000 in spybot, and Norton picked up another 300 or so viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
