Anyone else be interested? Also Mod's opinions/thoughts?
I'm still very much interested in doing this, and have seen many sites with this as their biggest section. We would have to structure it a bit, with "approved" members doing the virus removal assistance, and possibly classes to teach others who wish to help in the future.
This, like every other great idea that comes along, self destructs eventually. Like it has now.
Allow me to answer all of the above in one swell foop.
I am not sure where we are in the timeline, but once CF merges with Techist/Tech-Forums there is/will be Virus, Spyware and Malware forum.It already exists at Techist/TF but is rather understaffed with mainly one mod and one or two regulars chipping in. Any who know their stuff(*) will be more than welcome to join in with it.
(*) By "know their stuff" I mean those who actually know what they are doing, as in can read a HJT log and can guide a n00b in deleting what needs deleting without crippling their machine. There have been several who have given their "advice" who, honestly, didn't know their rectum from a hole in the ground. I will definitely rely on the senior members and mods to let it be known who is and who ain't.
