I'm just frustrated and starting to think I've done something wrong here.

I came to geekstogo six days ago because I have a malware problem and was told people here are the experts. Since then I have noted a number (16+) views but no replies to my query.

I'm not sure what to expect...how long it takes people to react...if I've offered the best info on the situation...so I wait.

I welcome any suggestions! Thanks.

Hello, Bill_C2, and first of all, welcome to Geeks to Go! :)

While all of the malware staff here are experts, it tends to get quite busy in here, as you've undoubtedly noticed. That doesn't mean you've done something wrong; there are several reasons people might look at your problem but not take it on. For example, Helper A might feel more comfortable with a certain type of infection, while Helper B deals more with another one, etc. etc.

Generally, it does not take six days, though. There is a special Waiting Room forum you can post in if you've been waiting for over three days, to alert the experts. Then, you can count on getting prompt and proper assistance :)

Rest assured that you have not done anything wrong, but that we have unintentionally allowed you to "slip through the cracks". We try not to let that happen, but on a forum this large, it is difficult.

Once again, sorry that you had to wait, but we are an extremely busy forum! Cheers, and hope you get help soon! :)

See? Essexboy is awesome :)

On a side note, I think I'll be seeing you (him?) in CMF soon! :) :)

Escaped, no. Nobody escaped. They're all horribly scarred for life and still under his control. :)
