    A couple of years ago a friend of mine caught some fake antivirus and all kinds of garbage, and I tried to clean it, and was clueless. After a couple of days, some geek told my pal we should go to this website, that you could help. You did, several times. Like others, I thought how cool it would be to do this. Mostly I'd just come here, and post, and get help like everybody else. But once I asked how you learned to fight malware, and I went to the link http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=182555

    Well, I actually took the advice, and went to Boot Camp at SWI about a year and a half ago, and after studying hard throughout training under some very patient and dedicated people, I graduated and just made Helper over there. I'm proud and humbled and very busy :)

    I posted this to say thank you to the dedicated people who helped me here, and inspired me to learn and to do my bit in this effort.
