Re: Hacker, help asap
i just want to know if my site is infected with malware now, all of us found our computer was infected after his visit
Re: Hacker, help asap
That is why I am trying to go back to forum softwares. With all these reports of hacks, I don't feel safe. Especially with money involved.

Well the best way to avoid hacking is by using a paid hosting service. However, hacking cannot completely be avoided even with all hosting and the best hosting. I admit I once thought that Forumotion is hack-proof, the accusations and the proof are proving me wrong.

Just having a hosting service, does not mean your site becomes hackproof.

Well get a good anti-virus software, I think that will be the only way to find out.

Hello,
If your forum is infected with a virus it would infect the whole system within other forums. Forumotion job it to stop it by creating new ways beat it. You can't do much to stop a virus since you don't have access to the database.

The virus can be added by a user by adding a link or some sort of html code which will create a problem. If you do have a updated antivirus, it will detect any wrong actions you take.msedgley wrote:well is there any way you are able to check as i dont want my members getting a virus every visit

much appreciated thank you
Re: Hacker, help asap
Your site isn't infected. although some Bots are undetectable to virus software, it sure helps having it.
deleting the user will delete any pm's he /she posted. just delete anything else that was posted.
Disallowing html in a post helps, as well as utilizing the other security features offered.
It's probably the same jerk who attacked my site a few months ago. I had life size swinging "organs" posted.lol
New banner looks nice.. old was pretty killer too.
