Hi s....,

what kind of MR School you have on your mind?

For example I was "working" like helper at few Local Forum boards in my Country. I also have more than 10 years experience in Malware Cleaning.

Is this enough?

Hello, I was told about this site by a friend and just came over to check you guys out. Nice place. I commend you on your choice of boardware. SMF is top notch.

While looking around, basically the same question came to mind. If you don't mind, could you elaborate on the credential requirements for the staff here? I'm particularly interested in the credentials pertaining to security management and malware removal.

As it happens, I'm quite familiar with and well known in most pri/sec venues including the malware removal training centers. Because of this fact, my curiosity is quite strong. As we all know, in order to provide adequate services in malware removal, it requires constant education and a strong working relationship in and with the global pri/sec community.

Anyway, for these reasons, the question doesn't seem unreasonable.

I did look around for this info before posting and as with most of the good pri/sec sites, this info is usually boldly stated in the signatures of those who have graduated and become anti-malware specialists and the site's affiliations in the industry proudly displayed also. I also didn't notice any mention anywhere about your staffing needs so I assume you already have an adequately trained staff. You guys would be lucky in that respect as most pri/sec sites are woefully understaffed...especially at this time of year when so many more users find themselves infected.

Well, I'm looking fwd to spending some time here...mostly just lurking. Perhaps, in time, I might be able to add some worthwhile contribution to this community too.

Anyway, thx for letting me join in here and I'll be looking fwd to the response to my querry.

Thx,

Mike

Hi Mike and Welcome to SCF Community.

Huh, you have a lot of question.

First thank you for your nice words about our work here.

Second "I know who you are" it's our honor to have one more ASAP member in our Community. Because of that I'll immediately change your Forum Status to VIP.

Probably you "find" us because I was send few mails to some similar forums for Link Exchange?


Anyway you know what is main problem with this kind of Boards:

most pri/sec sites are woefully understaffed...especially at this time of year when so many more users find themselves infected.

Anyway, here is a few more info. about SCF:

Right now SCF is "running" with "only" me & Amker (Global Moderator). Because to English isn't our first language (probably you notice this till now , also sorry if I make some big mistakes) in our PC Help Center only I reply to HJT logs of our Visitors. Right now We both have Full Time job in our Companies, both have small kids (I have sweet little daughter) and it's very hard to find "free" time for SCF...

In earlier reply I was provide some information about my knowledge... (Security Advisers at some Local Forums, also working for years in some main PC Services in our Country...). Amkers story is very similar...

But, probably you ask me about this Credentials related to education in some ASAP members "schools"? and, that is one long "ugly" story... if you're interested I'll send you PM with all details (maybe you could even give us some help since we're are big supporters of ASAP).

Hope you are satisfied with my answers, of course if you have any more questions ... just shoot.

Anyway one more time I wish you warm welcome with hope that you will stay part of this Community. I also hope that you're willing to help us in Our "PC Help Center" or any other SCforum part: http://scforum.info/index.php/board,16.0.html Thanks in advance.


All the best,

Samker
