NEWS Merseyside Police are receiving training from a Californian cyber-investigative firm which will help them use computers to catch criminals. The force will use Guidance Software's technology to set up a school for budding cyber-cops, teaching computer forensics and investigation techniques. The school will be housed in Merseyside Police's forensic investigation unit but will also accept entrants from industry who want to investigate corporate computer crimes.

    Hi im just wondering who i get in touch with as i have had two emails of two different people asking me for help for them to invest money into my country now i have one email address i deleted the last one as i thought it was junk mail i would like some help as i am not sure wether its a virus or not

    (Ed note. It's most likely not a virus, but it is almost certainly a scame. With regard to viruses though always be very wary of any email you have not directly solicited, or where you cannot vouch for the sender. Be very careful when opening any attachment.)
