The Education forum is down right now. When I tried to visit last night, there were multiple attempts to place trojan horses and spyware on my computer. Others here may want to check their computers if they visited that forum last night.

I never actually was able to load the thread pages. I could get to the index but the threads I tried to get to got hung up because my system wouldn't let any of the nasty stuff through. I advise everyone that visited lately to scan their system though.

Others here may want to check their computers if they visited that forum last night. Luckily my anti virus program (AVG) caught them. According to John Simkin when he tried he got redirected to www.zbrgduxcvy.biz I checked the whois but it seems to be registered using fake info AFAIK there is no city in Russia called Solon and I doubt if it did that it woud have a street called main street. www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp |

This must mean the Russians are secretly trying to uncover the truth!

My antivirus kept everything out too. I use Symantec Corporate provided for free through the DOD. I used to use AVG but installed Symantec when it was given to me and it promply found a virus that AVG had missed. That was years ago so I'm sure AVG has fixed that by now but I have no reason to switch back. I just hope no others were seriously harmed by trying to visit the Education Forum last night.

I think it was because the HB'ers were enraged by my powerful I'm a Jack White NASA "Apollogist" badge!
