That's how many viruses and malware were on G's computer. It's all clean and running well - we will see how long that lasts. The computer guru put Avast on it and has it set for a weekly run of checking.
I am such a doubter because he would crash computers at work - though the protected network. The man destroys computers. It's not that he goes to really unsavory sites - like porn and the like. He just opens things from places that he doesn't really know and shouldn't really trust,
I am not innocent in this aspect however. It was recently that I realized that some of my "trusted" embroidery sites had viruses and malware in their downloads. So I am in the process of trying to get the baby Toshiba back up and running fast. I may send it do Dave (the guru) because $75 is really cheap to get it cleaned and tuned up!
This one I scan almost daily with two different programs. May be overkill, but I know there are STILL some baddies lurking on it. One thing I would like to get rid of are the excess tool bars. I hate them, and I haven't known how to get rid of them in many years. Just like I don't remember how to get an XP on a different modem.
So, my computer is mine once again. If something happens to it now - it is totally my fault. It's almost like sharing a toothbrush - I really don't want to do that - ever and with anyone!

I uninstalled tool bars--some of them come automatically with programs that you install. I think I had to Google how to do it--or go to the tool bar, and right click? Can't remember now. You may have to hide your computer to keep his mitts off it!!!
Glad you're up and running. I had to laugh at Judy's comment.
I pay at&t $15.00 a month for keeping mine clean; so far it's been worth the money since I've had two virus's. :)
I am so glad my husband is not interested in computers. Any mistakes are all mine to own up to.
