Hacked/Virus Attached Site
Jan 4 2010, 7:34 AM EST | Post edited: Jan 4 2010, 7:34 AM EST
comfortec.wetpaint.com has been hacked and a vicious virus attached. I am the administrator for the site, but cannot edit the site due to the virus which keeps taking over my computer each time I go to the site. What can I do to resolve this? 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

After reading other posts I"ve learned that my site isn't hacked. The virus is coming from an Ad on the page. The wetpaint staff will need to delete this ad that is infecting numerous sites. The virus is Trojan.FakeAV Do you find this valuable?

Correct. Wetpaint should be back by now and should be working on it soon. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
