Hi,

I study computer science and I am very interested in internet security and compter security in general! Can anyone tell me where to get more information on spyware removal tools (HJT etc.). I read that there was a training course for beginners... Is the course still active? How can I join?

If you browse through the Tutorials, there is one that covers the basics of HJT logs. You might also cull information from the Self-Help Tutorials.
BC does have a Training School for interpreting HJT logs and using other tools to remove malware of all sorts; however, seating is limited and it appears that no new applications are being accepted right now. However, as people graduate or progress through the various levels of training, new students will be accepted.
If you are serious about joining, check back in three to four weeks.
Regards,
John
