What the Tech understands the frustration that comes from having an infected computer, how anxious it makes you feel and how you want the computer cleaned as quickly as possible. However, posting to multiple forums is self defeating. 1) It increases the post load to each forum, decreasing the number of replies that can physically get answered as we only have so many helpers, who are all volunteers and do this in their spare time. 2) It decreases the ability of helpers to assist as many users as possible. 4) Following the advise of more than one helper can be detrimental to your computer, we each have different methods to attain the same outcome - mixing the two methods can have a negative effect. 5) If you are being helped at another forum, your thread at WTT will be closed. 6) If you insist on posting to more than one forum - be gracious enough to inform the other forums when you get a response from one, so you don't waste a helpers time. 7) There are very few helpers and many people seeking help, to waste the time of a helper is very inconsiderate.
