Thanks, Jacee!

One of the OPs ran CF yesterday, and had problems.

Suggesting Eset for him.

Thank you Jacee. Using my poor memory I'm thinking that Sality virus has been around for a long while.

I agree totally with Jacee, i have seen a few instances wher Combofix rendered users computer a door stop ! So please if you are thinking of using it untrained think again !

Welcome to the forums,

I'm a few weeks off completing my training now

Just to clarify, are you a malware analyst or a malware expert? As far as I can tell it's the former but feel free to tell me where to go if I'm wrong!

If you do not want my experience/services then let me know, i do not rem who sent me the email saying they accept my services, i do not keep emails unless very important !!

Thanks

Hi Chuck,

Sorry if I came across as doubting your experience; I can assure you that I didn't mean this at all

The malware removal experts category is for security developers (sUBs, Attribune, S!R! etc. all fit into this category) whereas malware removal analysts (like, what sounds like, you, and I) simply have the experience with the tools themselves. I was just curious whether it was just a simple misunderstanding or whether you had a tool out there that I hadn't come across before, that's all.

Ah!! So you are trained in this also. Some people are, and that is good to learn.

Jacee, tom982, myself, and I'm sure there are others, attended and graduated from one school or another.

Lots of work and analysis involved, though. Some of them even test you.

What school(s) did you get trained at, and graduate from?
