oh my goodness. The number of toolbars in that screenshot is scary! The browser is so overloaded you can't even use it anymore. Quite funny to look at actually. Perhaps not if that was my computer (crosses fingers).

A Screenshot Of The Most Spyware Infected Pc In The World

The title says it all.

I don't think this is some person's actual PC.
I think it's just a test PC used by an anti-spyware software company to test how toxic this spyware soup would be.
Like to test whether various types of spyware would "jump at each other's throats" so to speak.

Although to be fair I did spot the VMWare systray icon right next to the clock, so that says something.

I love how there's an AIM window right in the foreground, either implying that it dropped that spyware payload on that machine, or that it itself is spyware...either way, funny as hell.

I agree, I also don't think this is some person's PC, is incredible the huge quantity of spyware out there.

As is the consensus I assume this isn't someone's everyday PC. Also, based on the title of the article frankly I expected way worse haha. I've seen computers about 50%+ this bad just in my year on a tech support type help desk. If a computer ran a couple years on the worst sites, installed tons of ad-supported software, etc, it'd easily outdo that computer within a year probably, assuming it survived a year. Remember, there is nothing that spyware cant do wink.gif tongue.gif

Bonzi Buddy?

One of the worst pieces of spyware.

"Spyware isn't such a threat?" I beg to disagree. It can be a threat to your social life if you have a lot of contacts in your Yahoo messenger list and there a piece of spyware running on your PC without your knowledge bulk-sending an instant message like "hey sexy" (or even nastier) to all your contacts without your approval, of course.

Holy crap bonzi buddy haha, forgot about that little *expletive*. There was some other one too that got installed with SO much software back in the day but I forget what now, I think it was something to store your passwords and unames for you? (ironic haha).

As far as the threat to your social life, my friends already do that whenever they come over so really I wouldn't consider that a threat as it hasn't bothered my life much yet haha.

I have seen computers taken down completely by spyware though, as in unable to boot excluding in safe mode. While usually recoverable it is still capable of impacting your day and if the system was required for something integral to, for example, a business it could be a critical event (although I doubt a business rig would be downed by spyware).

I worked as IT support for a department of about 100 users back when I was in college...no machine is immune to spyware when you have a stupid user at the keyboard. I'd have users who, because of their tenure, demanded their administrative rights and got their machines so bogged down by spyware, and didn't get any work done...then would whine at me as if their idiocy was my problem. It was a crisis when someone couldn't get their work done because of it...it even got my ass strapped to a beeper for most of my time there.

Man that is just horrible. There is more spyware on that page that the browser can even display. It is overwhelming to see what that computer is going through. I have a feeling that computer is for testing spyware. No way in the right mind someone would use that spyware infected computer on a daily basis. That is more over impossible to use with that amount of spyware. I definitely would reformat the computer with the qucikness if a hint of spyware was on my computer. With all the viruses and stolen accounts, identity frauds that are happening these days I find it that computers are very senstive prone to those events where it would cause curruption in ones life if any information was transmitted on the net to a hacker or a hacker community.

When I was reading the topic, I thought the screenshot would have been worse, but having so much in your browser, you don't really have capability to browse the web, quite funny, someone doesn't know what to do and how to spend his time or maybe he does? and did this stuff..

This is what I usually get when using the default IE that attracts much of the dirt. One thing I usually do is never install software in typical mode. For example, Yahoo.. seems like a nice legit company, yah! with all the toolbars on, thats the start, then goes google, winamp and all other toolbars! man, by that time, we will never know who's who put who. I mean who needs it? Whats a toolbar for for such a lot of lame people on a lame company. I like mine on slackware but on windows, I get this new google chrome beta.. very neat and clean browser.

By the way, I got a lot of friends were spyware are like pets on their laptops. What a waste of money upgrading for memories that seems the problem never been solved. Better try reformat everything. I reformat mine twice a year for this.

I'm warning you guys about these spyware/rootkit that infected my system 2 days ago. Rootkits are really hard to exterminate considering the fact that it is hidden in windows/system32 folders. The rootkit is called wintems.com and executes during boot up into many executables running in the background such as hdlrrr.exe, 123546.exe, 136587.exe, etc.!

Here's my screenshot when I scan my PC with 5 antivirus and anti-spyware apps: http://techhive.blogspot.com/2008/03/rootk...e-of-those.html

The filename is associated with the malware group Trojan.Spambot.Some files using the name WINTEMS.EXE are also associated with the malware groups:

* Worm.Beagle.DZ
* Trojan.Mitglieder

These files have no vendor, product or version information specified in the file header.
WINTEMS.EXE has been seen to perform the following behavior(s):

* The Process is packed and/or encrypted using a software packing process
* This Process Deletes Other Processes From Disk
* This Process Creates Other Processes On Disk
* Executes a Process
* Adds Products to the system registry
* Adds a Registry Key (RUN) to auto start Programs on system start up
* Creates a TCP port which listens and is available for communication initiated by other computers
* Can communicate with other computer systems using HTTP protocols
* Sends email using SMTP protocols
* Registers a Dynamic Link Library File
* Makes outbound connections to other computers using NETBIOSOUT protocols
* Modifies the Windows Host File which could be used to stop you visiting specific web sites by redirecting you to alternative addresses without you knowing
* Writes to another Process's Virtual Memory (Process Hijacking)
* Enables the system to use a Communications Proxy Server
