    Ran Ad-Aware on a machine that was on the bench.
    The machine crashed when Ad-Aware found aprox. 21,000 items :D

    This machine had Kazaa installed ;)

    I think that's a record because up to that point 1300 was the most I had ever seen and I have scanned hundreds of machines :)

    Thats got anything I've ever seen beat by a mile. Did one machine about a year ago with 5,385 infected files out of 95,259 total but that was virus related.

    ;)

    PS - great thread topic

    1,700+

    Recently had one PC with ~1,700 total items. Regularly clean PCs with 200-500 items -- though the vast majority of the "items" are tracking cookies.
