Hi Potatoman,
A lot of users only become active if their own computer is involved, an egoistic trait of modern humans on this planet.
If you want to come and join us to fight malware (and not only the easy ones) go to bootcamp online, there are many online anti malware universities where people learn to evaluate malware forensics, unlearn a lot of things that are bad practice and can harm the victims OS.
Now also know that the malware landscape is constantly changing, to-morrows malware is not that of to-day, old concepts can be launched again in a new outfit (the floppy infestations became modern again with USB stick/ pendrive autorun malware).
So to-days special anti-malware programs and tools are not those of to-morrow.
There is an awful lot of information to help us to fight malware and on processes and dlls and manual cleansing routines to be found through our great friend Google.
I also agree that forensics is important in another way - some things taken for malware can be led back to hardware trouble, drivers, stop-errors, motherboard, cards and what have you can get busted. And do not forget the fatal results of just common dust that can ruin your precious machine. Then a lot of people do not know a cd/dvd burner only has very limited burning hours before it collapses (that is why commercial firms use other hardware for this).
Do your reading on malware cleansing and start to help others here,
polonus aka Damian (malware fighter)
