From all indications, the virus is limited to the site and won't transfer to personal computers. It just slows your site down considerably and causes pages to be blank. 1. Turn off javascript for your browser. -to disable it on Firefox so at least you can work on your site, go to Tools>Options>Content>and uncheck Enable Javascript. -to disable it on IE, go to Tools>Advanced and check Disable Javascript. 2. Stylish (add-on for Firefox) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 This changes the coding on your site, just for your computer. 3. Removing the inline shoutbox seems to at least restore some functionality for some sites. If you can't access your site at all, try using a direct link to the admin panel: http://(sitename).ipbfree.com/admin.php 4. Try clearing your board cache. This is found in your ACP, in Security & Privacy, at the bottom of the page. Someone also claims at that same link that the virus is "all over the Internet" and not just limited to iPBFree.

Political Trainee Posts: 16 Group: Members Member #141 Joined: September 18, 2006	I turned the board back on. I was on there for 20 minutes or so reading posts, checked my cookies, no sign of the infected cookie, ran a quick virus scan and nothing came up. Enter at your own risk, I suppose.
