Thanks tkobo for the info on this.

Yes, the forum was infected with a relatively low-threat redirector worm of some sort - it has been removed now.

I imagine only older versions of IE would be affected, though I'm not entirely sure of all the details. I am also not sure of exactly how the forum software was infected, but I guess it's time to take a close look for possible security issues.

I've added the latest phpbb security updates to the board, hopefully that will prevent any further issues.

If anyone notices anything acting funny, drop us a note.

Sorry tkobo for the inconvenience, and thanks again for the info. (by the way, firefox is a nice browser :) )

Anyone who uses IE is just asking... I kid, that's a terrible argument. But seriously, update your little parchment browser, tkobo. :P

Yes, i know, i should be using firefox.I had it on this machine before the last reformat.
For some reason,i havnt gotten around to putting it back yet.It just doesnt feel "convenient " i guess.

IE is up to date on my main machine though,but not the #2 backup.
