How to delete a really old post/thread?

Hi...yes, I've deleted your thread.

 

Hi

I found another one with your full name in it and have deleted it now, have looked over others and they seem ok.

Although this info is spidered on various search and social sites already and those are harder to have/get it removed.


*general comment and not specific to anyone but for all*

This is one of the reasons we have always stated do not post personal information or post inline any logs such as Hijackthis, System info logs opposed to putting them in a text file, removing any personal info (like names and product codes etc) and attaching as its not easy for the search spiders to open and retrieve text from an attached file.

 

Hi

You are very welcome and my only advise is to if you or anyone else reading this are posting any information on a website be it a forum or social media (Facebook, Twitter etc) is to stop and review it before posting it just so it doesnt give any personal info away.

Sadly these days and their are a few social groupings that do this in the main, are well I was going to say nieve but novice is likely more politically correct is that they will post anything, be it they are on holiday or going out somewhere (this is toxic as likely in other posts or their About Me page is to have address or basic location or even pics of where they live) all this can aid a criminal easily.

Social media is good but also very bad in some respects as some use it as an extention of talking to someone or a group face to face live, and this can be dangerous.

Tyler I'm glad you posted this thread as it gives us a chance to just highlight the dangers of data and information in this era.

Hi...it looks like TimW has responded to your thread. You can respond to him if you have any questions.

Just for future reference...we only have a few malware experts and they are the only ones authorized to respond to those threads so they are taken in order...oldest first.

 

Hi and welcome to Major Geeks.

If you click on any of the forums (this post is in the Welcome Forum) you will see a 'New Thread' button above all the threads that are already posted. That is the one you want to use to start a new thread for your issue.

You will want to go to the Drivers forum and post a new thread in there. Be as specific as you can about your issue, including the make and model of your computer as well as the operating system.

If you have any other problems starting a thread, just post back here.
