I think the reason they target 'small' 'personal' sites is that they don't have the skills to do things like google, or msn or the big players on the internet.

they just research the web for posted 'loop holes' in certain version of forums and portals and use the known exploits.

Just to let you know, when I booted up this morning, and opened up Mozilla, it opened up all the same Tabs I had open last night.... so virus scan here we go!!

done a full scan with avg no virus found on my pc so hope this might reassure you but be carefull especially if your firewall is dropped also run windows defender nothing found

i did a full scan on norton last night after going on to doughtys site, and nothing found, so either the firewall is keeping stuff out or there is no virus going around with it

edit: ive just noticed sumthing wierd, the digits on the top of the main page is in the turkish falg design

once I have finished running a virus scan, will run a spyware scan also.

done both on mine and all clear

They are just changing code in the forum software where there are holes. I don't think there is any threat of viruses unless you downloaded something and opened it up manually. Keep your spyware blockers updated. ;)

I had that at work mate, not sure what it is, a feature or a bug in firefox.. was quite useful tho! :)

I'm running the latest version of Vbulletin now, so, hopefully a lil more secure.

its a bit old with some features missing but its a bit more normal now

Time warped back to 2005—damn, I'm back to having 5 posts over there. :o


Looks like you lost a bit, eh Chris? Not good... Damn Turks. :(

Virus Software
 

AVG is not that good at finding viruses and spyware, If you using a seperate spyware as well like spybot or Stinger you stand a chance but if youve been hit by a hacker youll probably find that the Virus doubles whenever you turn your PC on (un-traceable).
I Recomend that you try www.ewido.net and download there free edition. Its a Mal-Ware checker and finds alot more than usual freebies (AVG, Spybot).

oh and in scanner settings, set it to check every file.

Chris,

I noticed this earlier, when loads of 0111011001111 data jargon scrolling al over the page.

Hope you get it sorted matey!!

hi mike
thanks for the link just scanned my pc and found 385 infected objects,nasty

Glad to be of help :thumrigh: Viruses help no one.

I have not finished yet, I should be able to merge the current and the backup SQL database to get it all more recent

the music and that flag were pretty cool though, Jimmy, any chance of a turkish flag sticker?

re forum
 

i was told of my service provider go through ur site and make sure files not need to have write mod to chmod to read only so exploits are not accessable

chris, he didnt even hack it right :rolleyes:

ive actually got the page here that the n00b was trying to show us, it was in all the text that was jubbled at the bottom.

rofl... I got it back quite close to how it was, some problems still to work out.

I have seen what the hack *should* look like and he made a real bodge of his hack on my site...

the proper hack looks pretty good actually.... lol
