How did you do it? I wanna know! (I have a P2 400 that it might have a slim chance of running on.)

Do you think "wearehosters.com" might take action against their user "v427" if this was brought to their attention?

About the first post, that line of code doesn't seem to do anything. I downloaded that portion of the site (DeepVacuum) and removing it doesn't seem to affect the navicomm. Someone e-mail Ben and tell him to fix it and check some other places (obvious ones like the news page and the navigation bar at the top) for viruses.

There was virus on this site? I just got done removing a virus from my uncles computer (it wasn't from this site, I have no idea were it came from). I almost tore out his harddrive out and smashed it with a hammer because it was so bad.

I don't have any form of virus scanner, firewall, etc. and never got a virus from this site (well I might have but I remeved it my self, my sister downloads them atleast twice a week :lol: )


EDIT: It looks like that virus was from this site (man I had fun getting rid of it)

Well, we're back online at least, but this site is getting seriously dangerous for Windows users (and buggy too). Doesn't Ben believe in virus protection?

Well you're safer if you're running up-to-date antivirus software and a hardware firewall/router I bet...

A decent free firewall is ZoneAlarm's free version.

Then again the web is a dangerous place for unprotected Windows users.

By the way, what happened earlier? I was browsing and the BAM! PHP errors! And now everything's fine! Horray, but what happened? :?

The MySQL database was down earlier, probably a coincidence. Oh yeah, it looks like the virus code is removed. Does anyone get errors now?

I had critical MySQL errors last nice. These were not virus related.

Interesting tid-bit. The entire corperation of BestBuy was hit by the same bug. And they still haven't fully recovered. Guess we get an A+ in recovery. They get a D-.
