No way... Even worse was that he admitted that.

I don't know if it is related at all but a mate of mine runs a forum over here and he has actually shut down access to users from Indonesia and other countries in that region as apparently a lot of viruses are coming out of that region? This came up in convo after I mentioned CF.com's issues to him earlier in the week.

Pewter locks the thread after one complaint. After many complaints PMd to him, he re-opens the thread, and suddenly it becomes apparent how prevalent this is there for users.

Lock first, become informed second.
Classic example of the bass-ackwards logic there IMO.

Pewter strikes me as one of those shoot first, ask questions later kind of cops.

They may need a new signed digital signature so that the security apps will recognixe their bona fides.

I thought perhaps someone was really angry about the changes in Vbulletin software charges.....

I'm usually too lazy to check what the add-ons are but just added no-script, it's awesome.

Yep I got it too after upgrading to Safari 4.0.4

IB and a couple of mods have certainly screwed up what was one of the better communities on the net.

Digging through the help forum (better grab a snickers...) it seems that the malicious bit of code came in with some plug-ins they use for the site. I'm wondering if the advertisement was the back door...
