Hi gdiloren and CharleyO,
Well I have to give you folks a pat on the back, because when a thread is interesting, you two guys always come up with a reaction, and a good discussion on real issues works, an' there are many instances avast profit from what the forum folks dig up. It works that way, not always but more often than not.
Still some times you have the feeling "that you can not lay your personal egg". If you look at my postings (and there are some) they are in the virus and worms (because I like the work of malware fighter and help victims to get rid of malware), this also helps my understanding of it and is helping towards my own security. Then I post a lot about the Firefox (Minefield) browser and Flock and in-browser security issues, because good in-browser-security can help against malware (NoScript, ABP, Firekeeper) and I am also propagating cleansing up after a computer session with ATF, ClearProg, IECacheExplorer.
So it would be helpful if the general forum had sub forums, like in my case Browser Security.
There could also be a subforum like new threats - malware all sorts.
We have a lot of expertise here, and certain people have built that up through becoming member of the avast webforum community. I learned a lot, it opened up my eyes to a lot of security issues, it made me a Minefield test pilot, it took me to post on MozillaZine, an become involved with bugzilla.
It created lasting friendships with good Malware Fighters like Essexboy, Oldman, etc. etc. They learned me to work hijackthis, comboscript and learned me to search for similar cleansing routines and the right info on processes and files (Freefixer, FileAlyzer etc. etc.). All noses one way folks, close the ranks against malware,
polonus
