Has anyone seen the security section there is more malware and virus and such now?

http://forums.techguy.org/54-security/

I was at the site yesterday and over 60 post with malware and virus problems came in.

And other question what do you have to do to be qualified to remove malware ?I can see there is more members now helping out to remove malware !!

PM a moderator or administrator if you learned malware removal at Geeks To Go or Malware Removal University to become a "Qualified Malware Remover."

 

[zergpc208]

No I was just asking a question and I'm sure the moderator or administrator will read this post!!


Also what is Geeks To Go? And what Malware Removal University ?

You need to comple a course at a place like Malware U or similar. I refer these to Cookiegal.

 

[zergpc208]

What University do you go to and how long does it take to be in University ?

And what is the cost of the program is it like the MCSE program or more learning and more costly?

 

[Cookiegal]

We refer to them as "bootcamps" and they are entirely free. Security experts teach you how to recognize and eradicate infections and they are very well done. Once you go through the program, if you graduate, then you will become qualified for malware removal.

So the qualifications are for the internet forms or can you take it to a job? And do you learn at home or at the school ?

And how much work is there 1,000 pages to read or 2,000 pages to read?

From The Links I was given (I never took the corse)its basicly a forum I don't know how many pages but not that much NO you don't go to school you learn on your own time from home sitting on your rump all day.no you can't take it to a job its nothing like that.It just to help you learn how to spot and remove malwhere its not that hard but I never took the couse I got the links but never took it.PM cookiegirl she can tell you more has I was told to PM her after I PMed a mod about the classes

 

[zergpc208]

I'm sure Cookiegal or one of the moderators or administrators would know how many pages and how much work.Also how long it will take.

 

[lexmarks567]

cookiegal is the one to PM she will tell you what you need to know Good luck

 

[zergpc208]

She is off line now but I'm sure she will read this!!

 

[Cookiegal]

I can't tell you the exact content or how many pages you will have to read. You will be given exercises to do starting with the basics and once one is completed you move on to the next and so on. The entire process can take several months to complete.

 

[zergpc208]

Cookiegal just get a book on Security at the book store some talk on how to recognize and eradicate infections and some books help you get a certification you can take to a job.

Well yes going to that web site and learning on-line and being malware removal is fine but you can't take it to job.Well should you not being teaching them on how to get some kind of paper on it like a certification so they can take it to a job.

 

[Cookiegal]

We all do this on a volunteer basis. We are not looking to build careers for anyone.

It does take time and a lot of reading.

If you work with computers then it might help you but I don't it will be a good idea to put that in your resume.

I'd say the training has more prestige than the actual job.
