    I still like my guess of 176,000, which includes the first 32,921 found. You meant for us to post with a final guess after the last post you made, right, and not that the guesses we made before were final?

    I have never used spell check nor will I ever. Since I rarely make mistakes while typing on a forum.

    Yes, post all of your final guesses, I will only take your first answer from now on, so amend as you wish and it is FINAL now. :-)

    these can't be individual virii, can they? so tens of thousands of different h4x0r2 got their virii onto this one machine? how can that be? unless some kind soul made a nice zip file of every virus ever made and e-mailed it over =p

    isn't it most likely just one or two virii that 'polinated' the whole HD?
  • CyndaneCyndane Join Date: 2003-11-15 Member: 22913Members
    Everyone single one is different, that I promise you. AVG does seperate them from being an infected file or being a causer of the infected file. Keep them coming boys.. everyones is recorded now, and remember, if you wish to change you have till its done tonight.

  • DiscoZombieDiscoZombie Join Date: 2003-08-05 Member: 18951Members
    well I have trouble imagining tens of thousands of people getting their own individual, lovingly made viruses onto one computer unless the user, like a virus connoisseur, went to a virus sampling website and downloaded them en masse :> could it be that there's one virus that changes itself slightly every time it jumps to a new file?

    anyway, as it sounds like pretty much every file on the computer is corrupted, I did a dir /s /w to see how many files are on MY computer, and as I have about 200k files, I'm gonna guess this person has about...


    125,395 viruses.
  • DaJMastaDaJMasta Join Date: 2005-01-10 Member: 34750Members, Constellation
    Infinite viruses. They will congregate together and form new and worse viruses faster than you can clean them. The final count will be reached though, merely because they have outsmarted the virus scanner.

    I guess its a <i>little</i> farfetched <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I would do these folks a favor, get their windows key and reinstall windows for them.

    And I dont find it surprising at all to find that many virii on a single box (even a dialup one) but this obiously is a very extreme case.
  • Lt_PatchLt_Patch Join Date: 2005-02-07 Member: 40286Members
    Hmm, 2 hours, and still on %system32%?

    55000.
  • AlienCowAlienCow Join Date: 2003-09-20 Member: 21040Members
    Well, I guess I should change my guess again. Sys32, is that most of the computer scanned? Who knows. I'm going for a whopping 62,789.

    Well an update from this morning, I let AVG run all of last night, from 9 pm till 8 this morning and it still isn't done.

    Therefore, I must extend this contest out untill I come home from work tonight at 9:15 PM. Hopefully by then it will be done and we can finally have a winner.

    So, all of those who didnt' get a chance to guess yesterday to so today you have 12 hours to so from the time of THIS post.

    To those of you who guessed last night, it is your final guess as of last night, I won't change that. Lets hope some of these lower numbers are right. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    *edit* just some numbers of the number of files scanned.

    So far in 9 hours it has scanned 149,820. I can't give you the current virii count, because I promised not to do so untill this scanner finished. So... most people have around 250,000 files in their system 32 folder...
  • KhaimKhaim Join Date: 2002-06-28 Member: 841Members, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    150,000. Why? Because I'm just randomly guessing that around 2/3ds of the files are infected. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
  • Lt_PatchLt_Patch Join Date: 2005-02-07 Member: 40286Members
    *Bleet*

    Some people don't even have 25000 files on their PC, let alone 250000 in the %system32% folder.
  • im_lostim_lost TWG Rule Guru Join Date: 2003-04-26 Member: 15861Members
    I have just over 6000 files in my system32 folder, so I'm going to guess that the majority of those files were created by viruses, meaning that my previous guess is way too low. Oh well.

    Well pat me on the back then, you were BUSTED!

    On topic, I'll leave my original guess as is, since the prize you're offering is hardly worth the effort it would take to re-calculate. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Bumping, because I am going to work and I think it might fall off the main page of the boards by then... I'll be back in exactly nine hours.

    Those that haven't guessed do so now.
