Well I can get back on now, Google still shouts at me but it lets me in.

Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Unfortunately, this one comes back as soon as you get rid of it, I'm going to remove the suspected vulnerability and see what happens.

I'm wondering if we should extend the election signup period until this gets fixed, since some people aren't going to want to come on at the moment I fear.

Ok, I've removed the poisoned .htaccess file and removed the news script as well, which does have gaping holes in it. I'm now going to request a review and update the forum software tonight. Fingers crossed we will be clear within 24-48 hours.

Just taken a look at .htaccess, and it looks very much like the problem is back.  :(

Requested review. Discovered that this nasty has put a poisoned .htaccess file in every folder that has an index file. I think it was doing it via the news script, which is now gone, so fingers crossed our Googly overlords will grant us redemption! :D

Edit: Dammit, this means the malware is still there. I'm possibly going to have to take the site offline and clear it of everything, then add stuff bit by bit.

Okay, if you do that is there any way to display a "Sorry, we're not available, please come back soon" page?

I'm going to leave the forums up and just focus on the site for the moment, and if that doesn't work I'll reinstall the forums as well. And yes, I can leave a 'sorry we're not available' message.

EDIT: In light of a message I received, it's struck the forums as well, so I'm going to take everything off the server, and reinstall bit by bit. Sorry for this guys, but It's the only way I can be sure of removing it. Don't worry about posts and data, they're stored on SQL databases which I don't think the virus has got to.

I will try to get the site, starting with the forums, back up tonight, but I can't make any guarantees. The forums at least will be up by tomorrow though. Thank you.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Seems like a good job you've done here Marcus :) .

In fact, I still get redirected if I access Exilian from a Google search :/ .

Have you cleared your cache, SOTK? Your computer may be remembering the old .htaccess file in the absence of a file that gives a directly opposed command.
