Btw, have you got your website's files backed up offline? If so, you could run a scan on them and if they're all clear you could re-upload them to replace the ones you have online at the moment. I use this method as a safety system for a website that I maintain for a documentary programme distributor. hth, Simon. PS. They ought to make trojan/virus writing a hanging offence. |

Hi Simon
I only had the files ive tweaked backed up, ended up going through every folder deleting the virus code (even on older versions of pages) went to re-upload checked the site first and the virus had been removed as well as the £ sign. Been away today and web designers didnt reply to my emails so will ring tomorrow and chew a few ears Will keep a back up and try and sort out the files and remove the older stuff. Hanging is far too quick a death, how about death by cheese grater with a squeeze of jif lemon here and there for good measure (i would faint am no good with gore) |

Whenever I make a change to the site I mentioned earlier (which is very often), I alter the relevant files on my PC and then re-upload them. That way, the PC here holds the master up-to-date version offline and the online 'copy' is merely its twin. It's very time consuming but it does mean that even if the online site got wiped out completely, I could re-upload everything and it would all work again straight away. (NB. If you don't make regular changes to your site, then the aforementioned system is very easy - far less hassle than I have to go through). Rich and GG obviously know much more about the complexities than I do so if I were you I would take their advice. (I'm no expert - I just operate on idiot-proof logic!) Good luck Martin. Simon. PS. To hell with the gore factor - hanging, drawing and quartering is the correct way to treat these scumbag virus/trojan writers. :SHOCKED: |

Ooooh my new banner advert is up, after the great free help received last night thought would pay something back to help keep the site up and running.

Lovely looking places you have there Martin. I hope you're doing well with them. Mini-paradise -The Lakes.

Good looking site Simon, cant be doing with these fancy flash sites etc, they look good for the homepage but then get annoying as are often slow and distracting.
Netizen ran a script to clean up the server within an 1 1/2 hours of being infected, which explains why the site was suddenly virus free again. I like to think it was the evil pixie They are going to replace the £ signs and have insured me the server is far more secure now.. |

Yes it's quite a simple site but fairly effective - I didn't design the original version, I just expanded it and added hundreds & hundreds of pages/pics.
It's a lot to maintain & keep up to date. Some of the pages need revamping as we speak and the red buttons on the black bar (LHS) could do with changing for a better colour and style. There are some very interesting documentaries though if you trawl through the 'By Title' list. The Bayeux Tapestry programme is an outright winner if the guys can get the rest of the money to make it. Glad to hear Netizen got rid of the virus. Those NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- pixies get everywhere! |
