A few days ago, I hopped on the crazed of becoming a Stumbler even though I had that plugin installed to my Firefox browser months back.

It seems that early this month, F-Secure started a course on Malware Analysis and Anti-virus Technology at the Helsinki University of Technology and all 40 places have been taken up. The course focuses on understanding how a malware operates and how an anti-virus engine is build.
You can get the lecture slides at the course website but you have to follow up each week as the slides will only be release when class is about to start. If you’re really interested in fighting malware, get a book by Peter Szor titled “The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defence” as recommended by F-Secure for this course. The book cost $54.99 at Amazon.com.
