    Security forum split

    It's good to see the old Security forum being split so there's a dedicated HijackThis area. However, I think the name "Viruses/Trojans/Spyware" for the other forum limits the scope somewhat -- that title no longer includes things like application vulns and updates, and firewalling is only covered by the fine-print description. Maybe a name like "General Security Issues" or "Security and Malware" would work better.

    Unfortunately, it's probably too late.

    We kicked it [all] around, for weeks, before submitting it to the powers-that-be. The next step was trying to convince them that the alterations were needed, (which was a tough one). Then they were the ones did the actual update. (We cannot).

    viruses/Trojans/spyware forum really took off. The separate hijackthis log forum was splendid. A year ago (or 2 or 3......
    old age, you know) these 2 forums just sort of blended with forums like 98, etc. With more and more idiots getting into the bug writing programs, it's all good.
    Thanks a lot, guys.
