oh that it were a record.  The family PC had 49,996 viruses and took nearly
a day to clean once I could get it stable enough to clean.

Hey Folks,
 
 
 
Had a branch manage bring in one of his sale folks personal computer (we
load them with a Cisco VPN client and Synapse 5250 software for remote
access).
 
 
 
It was Windows XP Pro and was doing some weird things. So I tried to load
our antivirus product on it (Sophos) and that was going weird. So I booted
it up in safe mode and ran a special Sophos command line tool from CD (with
a diskette of the latest virus ID's) and it cleaned up 344 viruses. Granted,
many were instances if the same virus in different files but this was a
record !
 
 
 
And I would venture a guess that the vast majority of home PC's are in
similar state.
 
 
 
Chuck
