Yes. We were at a friend's house, and their computer wasn't working at all. Their dad (who works with computers for a living) wanted to fix it, but he said he didn't have time, so I took it into my own hands.

I booted up Windows XP in safe mode with networking, and downloaded them avast! (they had Norton). I scheduled a boot-time system scan and found 68 VIRUSES.

I got rid of them all, and their computer was working again, then I got FireFox.

The ironic part is, when it was just starting out I said, "What if it finds some insane number of viruses like 55".
