Who Runs this site/forum ?I do:-

Welcome to my forum - Malware Removal - Here is a little information about myself.
I am based in the Southend, Essex, UK area, an accountant, with a passion of helping people.
I started assisting other people on the Dell Community Forum (
http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/) about September 2002. That was mostly general software problems, mostly in the windows boards.
Then I started noticing that lots of the problems we were getting, were malware related. I was redirecting the victims to
http://www.spywareinfo.com for assistance.
So I started visiting that forum, about October 2003, and trying to learn from the answers being given by the experts. I think I started getting in the way, because it was at about that time (November 2003) that they started a school on tomcoyote . org (Now known as
http://www.whatthetech.com ) for such as me to learn, without getting in the way.
Since then I have progressed such that I am known on about half of the ASAP sites (
http://asap.maddoktor2.com/ ), I have no time to visit the other half

I started answering posts with Hijackthis logs at Dell - and was the sole responder for some three months until I was joined by Texruss. Here is a picture that was done for him (with me on it too) by some of the Dell Regulars.

He is on the right, with myself in the middle - the good looking one ? - sorry don't know him on the left.
The graphic people in the scratch pad board at Dell did some artwork for me too.
The first was too large for normal use.

The second was my cut down version of it.

Then followed some animated versions.

And finaly the one I decided to use as my Avatar

Since the Middle of 2004 I was one of the Teachers at the anti-malware school at Tomcoyotes, till the work at this forum ment I needed to leave them in February 2005.
Now at the start of 2005, I have started my own forum for assisting people with malware removal problems.
I have now started a malware removal school at this site, with the excellent assistance of nellie2, another ex-teacher from TomCoyote's.
