Gmanson?
Who is "Gmanson" and why did he message me in private offering to help me with malware? I see some suspicious looking posts from him, though none in response to my posts.
Thanks.
Thanks.

That's just not how we work here.
This was highly unusually and if you continue to receive these PM's please let me or Bugbatter know.
To anyone else reading this post, if you have been receiving PM's offering help from this individual we would appreciate it if you send the Liaison a PM.
The Liaison for this board is Dell-Gina.
Thanks so much for being so alert.

Lets think about it, sneaking around sending out PM`s to solicit your e-mail, web site, "supposely" good advice, instead of posting out in the open on the board for all to see, hummm ???
Yes, of course it is bad, "A+" people would not do this, they have nothing to hide.
You still did not answer the question, your web site, A+ training has nothing to do with PM`ing these people behind the scences.
Sincerely,
Fox

You have your own website, so you can do whatever you want to over there. Does that website by any chance offer software for sale? Do you think it is appropriate to spam DCF members here via PM? Any help that you have to offer can be posted in this open forum. You are entitled to your opinion at DCF. The members here can take it or leave it. However, we do like to see information that supports that opinion. Until you finish training in how to remove malware safely and efficiently, and stay updated on the latest tools and infections, or prove to us that you have the necessary skills, users cannot be sure that the help they receive is accurate. Advising members on malware removal via PM is not considered one of the "necessary skills" -- far from it.

The issue is not whether HJT is obsolete, or whether someone knows how to use it. We use many other diagnostic tools. HJT is just a starting point for people posting in that forum. If someone were to post a report from one of the other tools available we would work from there. The issue is providing accurate help in an open forum rather than behind the scenes as if you have something to hide.

Before you bother to hunt out other articles be aware that several of us are privy to information regarding the development of the latest version(s) of HJT. Any articles that you find will be somewhat outdated compared to the updates that we are getting.

Can't you just do things the way we ALL do them?
If not, why?
You have not completed any formal recognizable training, and if you have please tell us where?
All we want is what is best for the people that are posting here. No more, no less.
It seems that you are trying to undermine how this board works when in reality it would just be simpler to go with the flow, don't you agree?
