Final update on the malware attack page:

We had been compromised and a small script had been injected into the site.

In the end, it affected 44 pages out of several thousand.

We have cleared it and Google has given us a clean bill of health. The page wasn't serving malware, what it was doing was redirecting those 44 pages to a site with known attack vectors. If your antivirus or OS was out of date or had a vulnerability in it, being redirected to those pages could have put you at risk.

If anyone finds themselves infected with malware I suggest you post it in the correct forum, so we can get down to the business of helping you clean it off.

Thanks everyone and sorry for the trouble.

-Will

Cheers William, we would have been lost without you.

Fully concur with Popeye's sentiments. Thank you.

And a great big thank you to Popeye for providing us with an alternative hang-out while William got the problem sorted - well done and thank you Popeye

Although I did not experience this attack warning, I am glad it is all cleared up.

I second that. What everyone didn't know is that when Will first laid out the whole problem a couple of days ago and made a suggestion for us to go back into the members list and look for anything suspicious, any suspicious link that might be hanging out in someones signature or avatar or post Pete didn't skip a beat. He dove right into the search. We have over 1000 members but tried to narrow the search down to the last 90 days. Last word from Will is he would have never found it. But it has all been resolved now and the forum is on it's way again. Just so everyone knows, Pete was the determined one. He believes in the importance of this forum and was not going to let it stay messed up if he had anything to say about it or could do anything about it.

Hes just trying to get a raise ,Oh i forgot mods don't get paid,well maybe they schuld

wouldn't dream of taking money i love doing it so much, but bagsy doing any reviews if computer manufacturers send us parts to review, cos i never give stuff back if your daft enough to hand it over its mine.

sorry that should have read it's MINE
