76,000 viruses.... how likely?
Aloone_Jonez:
If you don't want to switch to an alternative OS like Linux then at least try s decent browser like Opera or Firefox (online scanners won't work with decent browsers). Whatever you do not use any of those online scanners they could infect your PC with all kinds of crap, I'm even concerned that you may've been infected with a rootkit so download and run RooekitRevealer then some decent anti-malware software like Orethrius suggested.

Some people just don't know the difference between "suck" and "soft". They confuse "software" for "suckware", and that's why they use Windows to power their machines.
Everybody knows that :p

Backup your data, reformat, and reinstall. Afterwards make a limited user account, install spybot and an antivirus of your choice, then install Mozilla Firefox or Opera.

The implication is to continue to use Windows with more security.
If you are going to go to the trouble of formatting and reinstalling, why not set up a dual boot system with Linux and find out what you have been missing.

How big is your hd? 76k porn flicks would be quite a collection (not that I would know first hand, mind you ;) ). If you are using a file share program, maybe you do have lots of parts of porn in transit in the share cache.
