Virus/malware on website!

The only solution is to backup the SQL db and forum skin, images and delete all files on the rollitup.org server, completely format the machine, reinstall the forum, the skin and of course the SQL db so all posts, members, content ect is returned.

Admin's also have to close unmonitored ports or set restrictions, this being a website there is no need for any ports to be open besides port 80.

The problem isn't removing the virus from visitor computers, it's removing it from HERE!

NOOBS

We are the biggest grow site on the internetz. Like any forum we are attacked and spamed on a daily basis. It just goes with the popularity.

yeah, but obviously something isn't set up right...I mean it just seems like this is happening more often then it isn't...I mean we kind of need the site to be at least a little secure...not just a willy nilly open internet disease pool.
