Apparently there's a virus on it. I went to the DIY link and only 1/4 of the page shows. Possible virus? Maybe Todd knows something?

Nope, he's talking about www.s2000.org
I'm not sure who maintains that site now. I think it's Doug0716, but I'm not sure. I tried to load it (on the work PC ) and also got an error. Some sort of embedded PDF virus or something, and it popped up an e-mail window and tried to send something from my e-mail.

After further investigation it seems that the problem may have been from the host because files exist with an owner that I do not even have access to (nor can I delete).

I have attempted to clean up the public facing files, however since this is the second time I've done this (and changed passwords, again!) I'm not sure how long this will last. I have also put in a support ticket and am awaiting a response from the hosting company as to how this may have been possible without their whole network being compromised.

It sounds like we may need to move to a different host, I'll keep you guys updated, until then please let me know if you need anything from the site and I can get it for you from my local backup.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused anybody, please let me know if you need any help cleaning your computer up (I recommend starting with SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition).

You guys still with server101? I'm surprised that this would happen with them. They seem much more competent than my current host (iPower).

Is the site set up such that it can be transfered to Google Apps for them to host? (Google having the perception, in my mind, of easy administration and good uptime.)
