Hello!

Hey there!

I wanted to say a quick hello and let you all know that I work for Webroot Software. I work with the Threat Research team and would consider myself a malware expert.

Please feel free to message me with any questions. I will also be browsing forums frequently.

welcome to majorgeeks

 

Glad to be part of the forums.

I hope to gain some useful information related to the everyday landscape of malware as it pertains to tech support forums.

Welcome to you...this site has a different setup than many of us are used to, but it is effective, gets the job done, and prevents wannabe geeks like me from screwing up the works when the real geeks are helping people, and this is the only site I like, that actually can help me get rid of malware infestations on mine--and friends--computers, unlike some other sites, where we all can pile in when there is a problem and talk the malware to death...it can be hard, tho, for real computer savvy types, who come here and want to be treated as colleagues...while getting help at the same time...this can be ego-busting, and I've seen it happen already a couple times on the malware forum...but in any case, welcome to you, and hope you enjoy the site...beats any A+ class I've taken...

 

Welcome to Major Geeks! :wave

There's more knowledgeable people here than you can shake a tree at! (a stick didn't seem appropriate :-D).

 

Hi All,
I'm new here, I'm just a pion (sp?) but I used the malware section yesterday and I was able to get rid of it on my machine. I am by no means a computer expert and the way that section was written I was able to do stuff that I didn't think I could do, except one thing. I couldn't find the topic about clocks on computers. My clock turned military on me and I didn't change it, did it by it self. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be cool. Thanks

Betty

 

Set the Windows XP Clock to or from Military Time

1. Click "My Computer"
2. Open the Control Panel
3. Select Time Options
3a. Classic View: Open Reginal and Language Options.
3b. Category View: Date, Time, Language and Regional Options.
4. Click "Change the format of numbers, dates, and times".
5. Select the "Regional Options" tab.
6. Next to the box that shows your selected language click "Customize".
7. Click the "Time" tab.
8. In the "Time Format" box enter:
8a. Standard Format: "h:mm:ss:tt"
8b. Military Format: "HH:mm:ss"

However I would lke to point out to you that although you may have followed the malware removal procedures up to a certain point..you haven't actually posted your logs to be looked at..so do make sure you start a new thread in the Malware section and upload the 4 requested logs


and welcome to the forums :wave
