Do you want to learn how to fight malware? Join GeekPolice Academy!

Post by DragonMaster Jay on Thu 17 Dec 2009, 7:06 am

First topic message reminder :

Spyware, viruses, trojans, adware, and all other bad stuff - learn how to effectively remove threats. If you like to help people, and would like to help other users get their computers clean - then you should do it!

Learning how to fight malware is important, because those who are trained know how to fix a person's computer without damaging it in the process.

The training is steady, but it does take several months to complete (6-9 months). It can be hard from time to time, but those who are willing to research and put good time in will feel rewarded and get the training done.

Note: This is a training to learn how to help other users with their computer problems, not just for yourself. We are not here to help you learn business skills, or personal skills. We want to train you in professional skills on removing malware, so you are able to help other users on the forums. Application submissions that do not say that you would like to help other users, will be automatically denied.

If you would like to join, please see the following sign up page:

Edit - [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

With the large, ever increasing amount of people requesting help, we are in need of more Malware professionals to volunteer their help here. Malware professionals who wish to help out here on GeekPolice, please drop any one of the staff a PM stating that you would like to volunteer here.

Nah, just use free version for now, as MBAM will do perfectly fine as the on-demand scanner.

i wait till my McAfee runs out then get the free Armor online and if you think that i should get the full version i will it saves big problems in the future. Want to learn how to remove the stuff but don't want load on my computer to learn on all at once . Glad that you said about ZoneAlarm cos I was going for that next but seems that lot of the free stuff you get out there is better then the stuff you pay a load of money for every yr.

BACK ON LATER cannot thank you guys enough for your time helping me be glad when i have learnt some of this to give back and once the exchange rate is better with UK POUND & US DOLLAR i will BE HAPPY TO DONATE to this site well worth it

Your welcome!

I have never paid for an antivirus or firewall. Had a free norton subscription and when I had problems I asked these question and found that as you've said, the free stuff is just as good and even better in some cases.

Btw, there are no daft or stupid questions and where happy to give our time to help you

Haha. That's what I got for testing Windows 7 RTM for Microsoft. I had a choice between Norton Internet Security and Kaspersky Internet Security, and I chose KIS quickly. Ahaha.

The computer is either slow, or has bad hardware, or is infected.

JENZO - Please post your log in your own topic, and not here. This topic is for anyone who wants information about GPA, not for handling HJT logs.

Thank you.

Id like to join the school, but I just recently had malware on my computer. Belahzur just helped me out with getting rid of it. And is there like a specific time limit (ex 12 midnight) in which we would need to complete like a certain assignment?
