Hi Mike,
Since this was your first post here on AG...

Thank you, sir!
Hey Setec, welcome! :)
It was initially GoDaddy...I guess they went there when they upgraded the forum software, but it was really, really slow, and they muddled around for about a month upgrading to faster servers until they realized it was a DoS...then they went to Media Temple, and that took a couple weeks for them to get that all straight--then things seemed fine for a couple weeks, until people started reporting malware.
I don't really know nuttin' 'bout web hosting, but it's hard for me to believe that the hosting companies aren't more on top of these kind of things, it's gotta hurt their rep when sites they host are either DoS'd or are spewing malware :confused:
The bug is bad. Took over my work computer this morning with malware. It was instantaneous. I would stay away. This went right through any anti-virus and spyware security systems on a pretty sophisticated network.
Hope I can get my computer to work soon.
The malware I received poses as an anti-virus software program prompting you to click to delete viruses. It loads and a couple of icons show up on the task bar disguised as anti-virus software. Don't click.
It got me last week . The anti-virus site that popped up was "Security tool" and it wouldn't let you go any further unless you signed up for their program. Had the system cleaned . My guy who cleaned it said it came from China.
Does anyone have any instructions on how to remove this? I can not get into msconfig or task manager to stop it. I have located the exe file, but since it is running, I am unable to delete. Any tips as to how to stop this from running and delete the program?
