    Greetings fellow geeks!

    This site has helped me a lot in the past as it does now from time to time. I am a graduate of GeeksToGo Malware Removal Course and wish to be of assistance if you can add another name on the helper list. My original plan was to Private Message (PM) an admin which I had to change due to the 50 posts requirement.

    Please inform myself if you need anything and I will gladly provide it. Thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

    Regards,
    Valinorum

    Hi :)....I'm sure one of our malware experts will see this, but I'll bring it to their attention.

    I'm headed out, so don't have time to check. Are you registered under the same username over at Geeks to Go?

    Chaslang is who you need to discuss this with. I don't know when he will be on, he is very busy, but he will get to you.

    I graduated in May this year after more or less 7 months of CMF. I am a helper at GTG, BC, Malwarebytes' and avast! forums. I also have member status in other forums but I am just a member and use those forums for gathering information and sharing purpose.

    Hi and Welcome to the forum and I know Charlie (aka Chaslang) will be with you already or if not soon, if he as he is really busy with forum and real work life missed you, please do post in this forum thread and I will ping him on this topic, but I know TimW will have done this already.

    Glad to have you on-board and do post in the general tech threads also, also maybe worth reading up on the removal steps used here on Majorgeeks as some background http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407

    Just as a thought as I'm waking up, (ahh airports and travel last few weeks have me jaded a little) do you have any other user nicks and any posts we can review, just gives a sense of background.

    I'm sold on your 1st post, but background is always good.

    Hi

    New members we have a filter to weed out possible malware links and your links may have been caught in that, I have approved your links and you can see above, and I have reviewed the forums you listed and great posts, I will indeed direct Charlie (Chaslang) to your history as its good as I can see, I'm not a malware expert but I know enough to be dangerous!!! hahahha

    While you wait for Chaslang, might I suggest you post in the other help forums. It will give us some insight as to your style and knowledge.
