The Virus Hunters Workshop

Last week I was invited to attended The Virus Hunter’s Workshop , an all day event sponsored by Kaspersky Labs .

The event was held in a meeting room at The DoubleTree Guest Suites in Charlotte NC and consisted of a basic course in malware detection and removal. The workshop included several hands-on labs. Each attendee was provided a laptop complete with software tools, malicious code to launch and complete instructions for conducting the exercises.

While the entire workshop was very interesting and informative, I found the labs to be the highlight of the entire day. I walked away with some real training I can use in my business and was well worth the time spent.

The Virus Hunters Workshop will also be hosted in Reston, VA and Boston, MA. Registration is closed for Reston but if you are in the Boston area you may be able to register for that event scheduled for June 24 and 25, 2008. You can register at www.virus-hunters.com .

I highly recommend the Virus Hunters Workshop to every service provider who currently offers or plans to offer malware removal services to their customers. If you can’t attend the Workshop, I recommend you search for some form of education or training in this area before performing the services as a professional.
