I will be home in one hour and I will be able to give a more accurate depiction of what has occured while I was away.
Keep your hopes up, I do not think it has finished scanning, for the person I sent to watch it for me has not called with the final number, and keep in mind I will be taking a screenshot to prove how many virii were actually on this computer.
Double post for the bump.. mods can pwn if they so deem it neccessary.
I have some good and bad news...
Good news is, the harddrive is getting quite clean, bad news is it is not anywhere near done.
I came home and it was in the o's of the system32 folder...
That means there is still another 1/4 or so left of it, now since so much is left I shall post how many virii I currently have and you can re-guess starting after this post, and that goes for everybody.
There were found 62,777 virii in addition to the 31,921 I already cleaned, I am cleaning off the 63k right now, and I will restart it tomorrow morning.
So.. that means we have now a grand total of 94,698 DIFFERENT virii... MAKE YOUR GUESSES AGAIN!
I'm sticking with mine, whatever that was <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I hope your doing rounded numbers. I'll guess how many we found on my friend's little brothers computer after only 7 months. We fixed it by setting child locks on everything after attepting to clean it up and just give up and then wipe it all.

Oh dear lord! I was only 12 off of the virii update with my last guess <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But mine shall officially be boosted, yet again, to <b>158,959</b>.
Update: I woke up this morning and it has finished cleaning off the 62K of virii, so we begin what I hope is one of the last scans.. again I won't be able to update the exact amount of virii untill I get home, but keep in mind this is beginning of day THREE for this lovely long term project, and I haven't even started to look for spyware/malware yet.
Wow. 3 days just to clear it all up? Just pray that overall time to fix it doesn't exceed a week <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'm not gonna place bets on the number of virii though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
