A majority of my calls deal people's computers running slow or not working due to SpyWare. Why not have a section dedicated to them so that we can keep up with the latest SpyWare programs in the wild.

well considering that every time somebody posted in there the answer would be "run spybot and adaware" I personally don't see the need. just my 0.02
aye, what Gollo said
I'd post those issues in the anti virus forum
I think he has a point! There are forums on the net now devoted solely to Spyware and Malware. I think all he's looking for is a "PLACE" to post this stuff here at WD. And, if all it took was SpyBot and Adaware, then the whole world would look sooo pretty...wouldn't it???
Anyway: a place for users and members to post HiJack This logs and let us all help them to figure out there problems. Hmmm. sounds like an evolution, doesn't it???
As I said it goes under the anti virus forum that is already incorporated quite well....
Who do you think you are ? - me ?!? :DQuote:

There is the anti-virus forum that (I assume) Mayet is referring to Confus-ed.Quote:

So why the bloody hell do we want another !?! - so either security or anti-vrus -which we could re-name 'malware' ? which then wants to be in 'security' anyway (as it is a security issue)...
We have too many damn silly forums anyway - as evidenced by my confus-ed-ness :D
Lets be honest ... most folks would want a forum named 'broken' - its only for ease of use :rolleyes: (for the anally retentive of us techs) - but all these overlappping forums seem to produce anything but !
Ya that was my point..either security or anti virus it does fit in both.......... :thumbs:
Every discussion topic that ever gets introduced should have it's own forum.

NOT!!! :D
UPDATE - I just noticed that Scott has now combined the security & Anti-Virus forums so :thumbs: & thanks :)
I still think its better described as 'Anti-malware' but since many folks don't appreciate what 'malware' is I guess the Boss has it right for now ;)
Yes I did notice that..thanks Scott..

Now if only we could get the web design thing happening :devil: :devil: :devil: :thumbs2: :devil: :devil: :devil:
Ah nothing like a subtle hint is there ? ... & this is nothing like ! :flames: :kiss: :D:D:DQuote:
