I just visited my old KN5000 web pages and found that someone has attached a virus to the site. Don't visit those pages until it is cleaned up.

Hi Bob
Sorry to here of your problem I know it´s off a KN Topic and showing my complete ignorance but how do you know if it´s a virus I thought you could only get them by opening an attachment or can someone place one on your site,my friend as a web site and she would be totally devastated and not have a clue if this happened to her
Good Luck

My virus protection software caught it on two consecutive occasions. It shows as a fake Microsoft link that transfers the virus if you click on the link. It acts like a cookie and is recognized by the virus protection software which removes it with a reboot.

Pages moved to a new and more rapid host.
You'll find it HERE.

Btw,
as far as I could see, no virus at the redirected site,
just some axtiveX and flash.
The "old" host is a serious provider, guess the servers are well protected.

Thanks for your quick response Bob.

I don'tknow about other people but I am becoming increasingly disenchanted with the internet.
