As you can see I'm relatively new to Bleeping Forums. I read peoples threads and as I do over at Wilders Security forums, I click reply to offer help if I can. Unfortunately I get told I'm not allowed to do that here, to avoid giving the poster problems. So what's the point of reading posts if only to see what a posters problem is? :thumbsup:

Wich forum are you refering to.If you mean the am I infected forum,if so I guess it could be they are afraid of amateurs ruining someones system.Not that I am refering to you as a amateur but I think Bleeping Computer runs a course for malware helpers.

As far as I know, you can help any Member in any Forum,except the HJT Forum,where only Malware Experts, are allowed to Reply.

That's my understanding,anyway. :thumbsup:

As mentioned by DSTM, only staff (Mods and up), and the member who originally started the topic, are allowed to post in the HijackThis Logs and Virus/Trojan/Spyware/Malware Removal forum.

Any other forum is fair game.
