For my sins I am a (poor) lawyer working in a college in scotland. But if anyone has any legal problems, I may be able to point you in the right direction.

God - what am I getting myself in to!!!!

This site has need of someone like you, the legality of malware and the ways it controls our computers, the piracy, the monitering, etc., are all questions which repeatedly turn up here.

I myself would like someone to make a program that makes a readable Hijackthis log. Because when one prints out one as it is, it is useless in a lawcourt without using the time comsuming cross reference of a tutorial, whereas if one just had where the numbers are, the meaning of that line, most people would understand things like "redirection", "toolbars", etc., making it far quicker to prosicute malware makers.

that would kind of be unneccesary as if you took a malware author to court you would probably be bringing an expert witness with you..

True, expert witness or tutorial cross reference, it still would make a report clearer to all people at all levels what the report meant and a lot less explaining by the expert witness I imagine. I have seen plenty of log scanning stuff, they advise which is the malware in red etc., but that not my aim here, imagine how much easier it would be if a member of he jury could read for himself "added toolbar: Coolwebsearch" without the expert then. Also, two other factors come into play here, the media could use it, and also out of court cases. Anyway, I am just airing an idea that seems to be overlooked.
