Re-direct to Lycos?

[spinner]

I came to the fourm today to do a search. After i typed in my search it told me that i had just done a search and could not do another for ten seconds.

I thought that odd at the time but of little concern, however almost as soon as i finished reading the post I was after, McAfee told me I had just pick up a trojan.

I had been having major problems with adware all day so I thought at the time that it had nothing to do with this fourm and didnt think of reporting it.

The search i did was for pskill, I believe I choose the first post on the list that came up. McFee said it was in show thread #7.

I believe it was just a coinsidence with all the issues I was having today with my computer, but You never know.

My sig was hijacked too.

I deleted my cookies
I deleted my temp files
I did a syware scan and got nothing
I did a Norton's scan and got nothing.
I set my internet security in IE on high and did not work
I tried mozilla and it did not work


Please Help

The forum software itself is being hacked by a script which attaches itself to signatures.

So far Jack Lurker and me. Someone else, I'm trying to figure out who (EDIT: It was Chewy). Cybermare started it off. He is now banned.

Admin will come along and fix this up, I'm sure.

Chewy's sig has now been fixed (as has mine).

I wonder if this "worm" (is that the right name for it?) that is hacking the forum software might be getting to posters with high post counts?

Chewy - please clear your temp i'net files/cookies etc.

So all of this began with a member of the forum? WOW

And how did I miss this thread until now. ?

What would be the purpose for such a thing?

[blutach]

The purpose is to have lots of fun at our expense and possibly to make some money by redirecting you out of the thread to another site.

So far, just 3 people have been infected - they have been cleaned.

@Jack Lurker - you may put your old sig back - there was nothing wrong with it after I cleaned it.

WOW, there always has to be some ediot that just has to make trouble I guess. To bad and can not do more then just ban the person.

[blutach]

All I can ask in the short term is that everyone has a good look at their signature and if there is any reference to a link that contains the word "cybermare", delete that link.

Thanks and regards

I just checked my sig didnt see anything in it.

This is standard for the forum - it stops searching which can tie up the software and make the forum run slower.

You wouldnt beleive how high my blood pressure went! I was up to 3am making sure I was clean this end! I will ring Cybermare's kneck if I ever get my bloody hands on him!!

Once again, sorry for any problems this caused you guys, it really wasnt my fault and thanks for sorting my sig out Blu
