O scary Forum God! I am not worthy! (Where is the groveling smiley?) Some of the admin team posts have links in the .sig about downloading WTT's favorite programs from http:// www . security-central . us/ downloads/ (which I have broken up on purpose). That URL redirects to something called NUTNWORKS. http:// www . nutnworks . com/ (broken up again). Their internal link to hijackthis is broken. Would you be so kind as to post another URL for hijackthis? Also, please consider me for the classroom. Thanks.
