I ran both IE first and then Firefox right after on this site. So far everything seems to be running okay here. Thanks Brent, that's why you get the big bucks  ;)

Keeping my fingers crossed. PD

I got all screwed up from this too. I'm not as tech savy as some of you. I ran a couple of spyware programs and seem to be OK now. I just stayed away for a few days.

Yesterday night, that active x thing was popping up constantly.  I couldn't get pas at either sites, cdnpapermoney.com or cdnpapermoney.com/forum/

Seems that things are okay now...

About 4 days ago, while on the Forum, this "active X" virus got through my firewall and slowed my computer down considerably ::). After I ran my Norton protection program, it found the virus and removed it. However, for the next few days I noticed quite a lag on my computer, but as of today everything is back to normal :). I can't understand what motivates these hackers to create these worms, virus's and such ???. Does someone pay them to infect certain sites or is it pure vandalism >:(

I to have had nothing but trouble along the same lines as all others. I have a trojan virus now that my ad-aware or other programs will not get rid of. Does anyone have any other programs or ideas that will help get this off of my comp. I have removed many things with ad-aware lately but this one just restarts my computer when ever the program detects it? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have now switched to firefox for browsing!! Thanks Very Much...

Hey Jeff,

I do not think there is an easy solution to this problem. I ended up backing up my hard on another drive, reformatting the hard drive, and then reinstalling the operating system. No data was lost, but the hassle of going through all of this was not fun. Now everything is 100%

I also have AVG (the freebie) one and it detected it, put it in the vault and then I deleted it.

I did the AVG as well and it said it found 176 files with a trojan??? Not real sure what it all means, it said it removed all but 1 of them? I will try it out and see how it runs this afternoon. I'm not a comp wizard so I just have been doing what I was told? I do not have a anti-virus program, maybe it is time to purchase one that is new and up to date??? Any thoughts on what else to try or what to buy if it comes down to that, Thanks for all the help!!

AVG is a good way to go. If you're that infected though, getting cleaned up may be a challenge. Anti-virus protection is an absolute essential in today's world. It's like wearing a seat-belt while in a car.

I think the virus was back on this website earlier today...

The website originator who ever is trying to attack the site has the following website address which was being hosted on this site:
-http://gomyron.com/MTgxNjQ=/2/6411/ax=1/ed=1/ex=1// (don't copy this website and try to open it)  

I was able to obtain this website address when my windows explorer started seizing up... disconnected from the wireless internet connection... and that address was shown on my address bar, instead of the www.cdnpapermoney.com/forum/

The problem seems to have been an issue on my master account. All of the domains on my server were doing this (not just CdnPaperMoney). You guys actually found it long before I was aware of it, but I believe it's been fixed as of Sunday (Jan 13th) afternoon. Guess I should drop in more often.

I'm sorry of the troubles.
