FYI - Sticking my nose in here, but want you to know. I don't know if Vivian is
online or not to let you know.
Contrary to what came thru from National last night, the National USGW page is still
infected as well as those sites on IX Web Hosting. Anything that is hosted on
theusgenweb.org. When I go to those websites - my computer is shutting those pages right
down.
Contrary to the rumors going around, it is my understanding and also that of RW that any
pages there are *not* infected.
If you come to a USGW site and a download for a flash player comes up, that is the current
virus infecting the pages. Right now I do know that Montana GenWeb and some of their
county sites are affected. I also have a website in NY and one in GA that are hosted
there and they are infected. At this point we are locked out of the sites and can't
even do a redirect to another server. <sigh> I've already moved mine in NY and
the one in GA will be next.
These pages BTW - hosted on
theusgenweb.org are the free pages that Joy Fisher offered
when we all started moving off from RW.
When I say National pages, I mean the main National Website. This *does not* include the
Archives or Special Projects which are hosted on another server and to the best of my
knowledge after talking with David Crosby, they are safe and secure at this point.
Please stay safe. Update your virus software, run scans and also run a couple spyware
scans. I use Ad-Aware and Malwarebytes. We don't want any ruined computers out
there.
