It's better to encourage the poster to get qualified help on the spyware hell part of our forum.
Define qualified. Its the same users in this forum.
Any malware removal advice by users is going to be removed. Just visit the right forum and we will fix it up for sure.
So why not move the thread instead of closing it and editing peoples posts? There may have been information I could have used.
Someone spent time composing a post. Unless it clearly violates a rule, I see no reason to remove it. There are numerous instances of what I feel is a misuse of power. This is why my participation has been decreasing.
whenever dealing with something as sensitive as viral infections, its best to consult the right type of source. a vista forum iam on allows outside advice..its different here, so be it. better to be safe than sorry.
Even I've been asked to refrain from posting from the Spyware Forums. Basically, the mods don't want people who aren't the designated Spyware Mods to post stuff because if they take your advice (and I know it is most likely legit) and it does screw something up, they'll start to blame everyone. The Spyware mods are here to be used.
And FYI, telling mods to stop doing something that is totally under their power and discretion will usually get you banned. Or tick them off even more.
Not to piss anyone off, however this thread is closed as it could easily get out of hand, sorry.
Just so everyone knows:
