    Would it be worth offering the help to the moderators on the malware forum, only in so much as to point out to people who havent done it the they need to do the read and run this first post. It seems many of them dont realise that, and I have the time to spare to go through once in awhile and mention it to people to save time :)

    Not really no, although your kind offer is much appreciated. We don't even have other moderators do what you are offering to do because it then puts the thread back into the queue being as a response has been made. we work threads on an oldest to newest basis. :)

    Hi.:)

    The way they handle threads is that they take the oldest first. Since the Read & Run Me First is stickied up top in all capital letters, the posters should be following that before they post anything. The fact is that the thread is in plain view and most find it and follow the instructions they should be following from the start.

    While your sentiment is appreciated, Chaslang and the rest of the Malware fighters run that forum the way they think it should be run. :) (as Kestrel, being one of those fighters) just noted at the same time as me. LOL

    Help is always appreciated, so any other aid you can give in the other forums is great. :)

    Yea, I enjoy reading some of the malware threads on occassion. It's apparent that some people have absolutely 0 ability to follow directions. Then there are the people who question the wisdom of the directions they are given!! For free!! I even remember one not to long ago where the poster accused the Malware fighter of drinking!! (That was a secret they were trying to keep).:-D:-D:-D

    Hats off to you MF's, (that stands for Malware Fighter, not what some of you are thinking):wave:wave

    Good on you for offering. This site has the most squared-away malware fighters I have ever seen online. If you see someone who needs pointing to the malware thread then of course help them along. Sometimes forums can be confusing for people . . . it's nice to have someone about to help.

    Hi

    Thats good of you to offer, but I dont now post the boilerplates as Kestrel posted it now with the amount of users with malware, changes the dynamic of that forum and moves threads out of order for the Malware Experts.


    As Malware Experts are in short supply due to the time needed to learn effective malware removal, while I'm good at doing it like many others, we may think we are experts , but I do not class myself as an expert to the level of the Malware Fighters here on Majorgeeks.

    If you have a good working knowledge of Windows Opererating Systems and can navigate the Registry well, then why not try Becoming A Malware Forum Helper. While it will take sometime to be a really good malware expert, its benefical to you in learning how malware works and how to clean up an operating system and will give you more insight into how operating systems work.
