greenknight Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 How about you create a malware removal tutorial and sticky it in the tech support forum? I've sent a lot of people to one on MajorGeeks, which has good advice, but it's so long and poorly-organized that a lot of people seem to have trouble following it. It would be great to have one I could send them to, with more confidence that they'll actually be able to complete it. Here's a link to that MajorGeeks tutorial, if you want to see what I mean: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 Just came across the PC Maintenance page. Hadn't seen that. Not surprising that I missed it, there's nothing to tell you it's there! Nobody's likely to go there until they've already generated a HijackThis! log, which should really be the last step, after they've already tried everything else. <edit> Checked out that link, those instructions are just what I was asking for; nice and logically arranged, not intimidating at all.

That'll be an excellent addition to this site. One suggestion for your cleaning procedure: add "Turn off system restore until the cleaning is finished ", and instructions how to do that.

1984 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Is there such a thing as a self help kind of tutorial to teach people to read their own logs? I would love to learn to read them. Would it be a lot of time to learn? House, work, kids, all kind of bite into the extra computing time. Maybe online courses with support forums? Just some thoughts I was kicking around in my noggin. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
