    Hi and Welcome

    Very likely you where trying to post in the Malware part of the forum?

    If its the Malware forum and you are not the original posted of that thread you are trying to post into you wont have permissions. The Malware forum is special in that you have to be an authorised user to post into this section, or a very capable user in removing malware*. If you are interested in malware removals and a competent user in fixing Windows OS issues then best to answer questions in Software, Hardware forums so that the malware/admin team can judge your level of expertise.

    Becoming A Malware Forum Helper

    Reason we changed the policy of anyone replying to malware questions was that it became a mess/confusing when multiple users posted their advice, theories and general "I had this virus" comments, sadly a fair amount of what is posted to aid removal of malware was wrong and could have made matters worse. Which is why as you will agree its best to have continuity in helping someone remove malware from their PC, especially with malware and being infected is very stressful on the person infected.


    *Is determined by our resident specialist Chaslang and after a series of tests to judge your skills.

    Hi

    There is a Thanks button to the bottom right of all posts bar your own, so you could use that in the thread/post that helped you, this could go some way to highligh to others with similar issue, that the information in that post helped.

    Good stuff on the thread for malware removal.
