You should have one newbie page to introduce them to the wonderful world of parasites. Sort of like this page.

I would like you to also include a tutorial on Spyware Block List file
I send that one page to everyone, sort of like a "one stop shopping" page.

Sounds good...its added to the list :thumbsup:

We do have a post here:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ind...p?showtopic=405

that is a good resource but I do not think it is as newbified as you would like. Let me know if you think that is ok or if you want something more directed towards a basic computer user.

IMHO, it is overkill for a newbie. I like to KISS (keep it simple stu***) when dealing with inexperienced users. I find the page I sent you to be (nearly) bitesized, as in "try one per night for one week". IMHO, too much information is no better than not enough!

Crabby_Crab is having an issue with posting with the forum board editor. Those oddities were numerous †in the postings which happens from time to time. It has happened to me while attempting to post and I don't recall the exact reason the board editor does this..
 
I told Crabby_Crab to start a new topic in this forum so Grinler, the site owner, could address the issue since he most likely is not subscribed to this one any longer.

I guess we all know, and have, issues with the post editors on various fora at times.

Thanks but for a strange reason, the issue doesn't appear now.
