Hi Gang,
As most of you know we had a couple of bad days, virus/malware infection, redirect attack and at one stage a DDOS attack and some other shit I wont go into and I have been working harder than a hooker on fathers day to clear things up (not my idea of a great Christmas but....shit happens).
As far as I can tell we are back to normal but I can only see so much and I need some feed back.
I need to know if everything is working "as normal" for you guys/gals.
So, is the site working properly ?
Is your computer OK ?
If you need help "fixing" your pc due to the mess we had shoot me an email including your phone number and I will do whatever I can to help.
Cheers
Stig

Everything is fine for me. The only issue i noticed was that the site loaded as a list at one stage, i refreshed and it was normal.

[SBB]

Everything is fine here now, Thanks a heap for the help getting the PC sortted after the attack.

Does it affect us apple users ?

[stubbydrainer]

Thanks for the great work Stiggy :clap: :clap: :clap:

Does it affect us apple users ?

Apple users will be fine, no virus threat for you :clap:
With the TXT style forum that some of you are seeing, all thats need (I think) is for you to clear cache/cookies and history.
I am aware of the pictures missing but cant do anything further till tomorrow.
Time for me to sit back and have a few beers :dance: :dance: its been a stressful couple of days.

Got a WIN7 anti virus Thingy keeps popping up on the laptop,just bought the new norton last week but haven't installed yet.Will give it a go tomorrow then get my mate around if it don't work.
iPhone fine though

[The Stig]

You have spyware Don, start the computer in safe mode with networking.
Download malwarebytes and do a full system scan, it will remove the spyware - Nortons will not remove this.

I am still experiencing some issues with the Forum Index page coming up as a list and having to refresh it in both of the browsers I use, IE and Firefox

I just had a devil of a job loging in. Not sure why just now as I didnt experience this earlier in the day when logging in. I will investigate this to ensure spellings of login in and password were correct, even though I checked when typing it in manually, the rums may have affected my typing fingers :lol:

I am running Norton 360 V5, so should be automatically protected here, but am curious as to which malware/virus hit the forum. Ever since the hit, I have had some issues with IE crashing for no apparent reason which it has never done in the last 6 months since I formatted and upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise. The Norton system scan of my computer has not turned up anything except tracking cookies.

I think on behalf of forum members that you deserve a gold star award for your dedication and effort :clap:

cheers, Icarus

Hey Stig and belated seasons greetings to you (and the other you ;) ....
No probs for me now but Avast seemed to 'sandpit' something and give the the 'get me out of here' button, which, of course, I did.

Thanks for the malwarebytes tip etc too (I will install/run today) and enjoy those beers mate 8-)
