Have you totally cleared your cache before revisiting here?

Sgt PSN

just did.   i know that clearing the cache will help free up some space and speed up browsing, etc, but how would that help with viruses?

If you're loading up the same old copy of a page that was buggy, you're going to get the bugs coming back.

The hoops we have to jump through to read each other's drivel don't seem worth it.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

One of them is an Adobe Reader exploit, I got similarly named Trojans to Sarge. Clearing cache has no effect, it's on the site.

Just did a quick upload of clean copies of all the files the board uses, which naturally screwed up the board for a few minutes.

It is pretty bad. Can no longer access from work, whatever it is, it's using a remote execution exploit in Adobe Reader. Updating the reader didn't stop it, however McAfee and Symantec pick it up. I've been using Firefox, which thwarts it, but IE and Chrome get pwned.

I use Firefox and luckily haven't seen anything.

I ran Malaware, CC Cleaner and Norton the other day and nothing got picked up.

Its all cleaned up again for the moment. I've changed the FTP password. Until Dreamhost believes the problem is on their end, or until I've got the money to switch servers (don't count on that happening any time soon), I'll be cleaning things up on a regular basis.

when i'm at work, i still have pages that get cut off at the bottom and i have to hit the reply button to be able to view the most recent posts, but i'm used to it now.  no problems at all from my home pc though.  i think dio was having the same problem.  wonder if he still is?

yeah, I'm still getting it...very strange.  it happens only on my laptop, and regardless which browser I use.  it frustrates me, I have no idea what to do about it.

what did your internet provider say Dio? You might have malware on some internal files on your hard drive they can delete for you
