 | Virus Warehouse!? Yeeeowza! |
So a client just brought this Dell in saying it had "a virus" on it. He also said it was cool to wipe it but wanted some files saved. So I back up said files to another HD then hooked it up to another system to scan... Low and behold I think this dude has broken some kind of record! Keep in mind that this scan was done on a small portion of his drive. I could only imagine if I scanned the whole drive! FYI: the only anti-virus he had was AVG... which seems to be useless...

He must never have updated AVG or maybe didn't run it in the background. |

During the initial scan, it had found over 400 different viruses, and thousands of infected files. |

 novaflareThe Dragon Was HerePremium join:2002-01-24 Barberton, OH | I think the single biggest infection i seen was from a file infecter it infected essentially every file on the hard drive the computer would no longer boot i scanned the drive in another system. I don't count that one because the computer wasn't scanned nor infected. I think it was well over 2300 infected files. -- DSLR security chat at us.ausirc.net chanel #dslr_sec lets pack this channel open source dns server for *nix and windows »powerdns.com |
