Might add a bit more as to what I do.

I'm currently employed as an IT Security Officer at a Government Dept in Aus, we see all kinds of infections around the place, one I have posted in the Malware forums. My task is mostly about prevention which sounds a lot harder than it seems. It's very easy to clean an infection but to prevent it happening is a different story.

Hopefully my experience can help some user's here as well.

Hello and welcome to MalwareTips.

Hope that you enjoy your stay.

The first stop that we recommend is the PC Security Configuration Wizard so that we can give you feedback on your configuration.

Have a look around the forum. You will learn quite a few new things here ;)

How did you find MalwareTips?

Once again welcome :)

Thanks McLovin, I will get round to the Config Wizard soon. I think I'm going to need a lot of suggestions in that area as I don't run much as the moment. Only MSE, MBAM and HitmanPro etc.

I'm always skeptical that my machine is 100% clean, I've had a look at some configs already and can't wait to try out some setups and guides.

I found MWT through Google searching for a Malware Forum with a good community base. I'm happy I had a look :)

I've got a question about detection's from a Comodo Cleaning Essentials Smart Scan (which I am running as a part of the How to Know If You Are Infected Guide which came form the Staying Safe Online Guide). Where would the best place to post them be? I just want to know if it's safe to clean and repair the detection's as the guide doesn't specify, it only says do not quarantine anything.
