As several of you know, someone decided to hack us. Most likely a script-kiddy from another country. We checked the logs, and the IP points back to Russia. Unfortunately, tracking down this type of hack is near impossible. I took CP offline early Sunday to prevent any further attacks. We will be going offline again soon for a major upgrade, however the downtime will be very minimal.

If you got infected with the virus that the hacker sent out, I do apologize. I will be searching for info on this virus and will post info on how to remove it from your PC.

I'm still busy doing a lot of backend work, however things should normalize again soon.

Thank you, and again, sorry for this major inconvenience.

Total withdrawl!!
It was horrible.

Rod the best bet for that particular virus/spyware is a total format.

It has the new variant of CWS.(spysherrif and a cple other nasty things) Which mutates everytime you boot up.
SO everytime you have a new .exe file. which loads a cple .dll's
Even Killbox has problems removing those DLL's.
 
glad to see the site up and running again
 
The earth stopped...

...but now it's started again. :D


and I second that 'WooHoo!'
 
Thanks for all your effort Rod! :thumbs:
