===GuySmiley===
This was a computer we found in someone's front yard on trash day, presumably sitting out for the bulky item pick up (you put bulky items out on trash day and they pick them up the day after). It had been rained on a little so I wasn't expecting anything much, but when I fired it up it seemed to be a perfectly good WinXP system... with a lot of spyware, which I killed using ClamAV, and Symantec malware, which I killed using RegEdit.
