    Hello,

    My name is Elder_Usr, and I would like to join your Malware Team. I do not have any proven experince in other Forums, but would like to show you that I can assist. I do have alot of time on my hands. I am certified through Microsoft, and would just like to help people.

    Please let me know.

    P.S. I am following this "http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=182555" guide, and I don't know if this is where I should be posting.

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately we are too busy to offer training to anyone who is not already a recognized expert. There are a few websites that provide training rooms. The process can take awhile to complete since there is a lot to learn and the people training you are doing it in their free time. Make sure that you are serious about wanting to spend the time to learn and have the time to perform malware removal this because it takes a strong committment. Check out the below sites:

    Hello Tim.

    I am aware. Thats why I wanted the chance to explain myself. I have a strong background in Windows Environments, with a hand full of Microsoft Credentials to back that up. I have alot of time, and dedication to offer to the forum. Just a thought though, I do work full time for a IT Support Company, and would like to do this between calls and at my time at home.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the inquiry! Obviously as you can see from the traffic in this forum, we do need qualified help.

    From your message it appears that you have lots of Windows experience, but no specific training/background in malware removal.
    • How much do you know about malware removal and the tools used to remove it?
    • How familiar are you with our required procedures and the process flow we use to remove malware?
    • Can you read the logs that we have users post (like SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix, and the collection of logs created by MGtools)? And can you identify malware and create detail procedures to remove the malware?

    How much do you know about malware removal and the tools used to remove it?
    -> Well, what I do know is of basically reading over the processes and procedures and tools you do use. "Typically" I use mainly Process Explorer along with Sysinternal's programs Autoruns to do alot of my Malware removal troubleshooting. But I have used majority of the programs you mentioned on this websites and your guides.
    How familiar are you with our required procedures and the process flow we use to remove malware?
    -> I have been viewing the recent postings and have been looking at the procedures and process flow. I know that it literally a bottom to top schema, and that you guys do do alot here.
    Can you read the logs that we have users post (like SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix, and the collection of logs created by MGtools)? And can you identify malware and create detail procedures to remove the malware?
    -> And yes, majority of the logs I probably could filter through, if not I would be very quick to learn them.

    Okay I will try to get back to you soon so we can set something up to get you started. I will probably contact you via a PM to do this.
