Thanks for the response. As for the details, please read my earlier posts, which were confirmed by many others.

For God's sake,..can somebody here prevent hackers from sharing viruses on this site????????
This is ridiculous! I have acquired 2 nasty trojan viruses and YES,..they were from simply visiting this site. Not sure how they
are getting in as my PC is protected,...but also not sure why this site seems to be the grand host to these nasty buggers!

I now must travel to the Library to even visit this page and even then,....it's risky.

Hopefully this site will figure it out and resolve these issues. Even my search engine posts big warnings about this site when posting results
from a search about Badger and Blade. Apparently the reputation is well known.

Hope it gets fixed.

Trust me,...in my case,..it WAS a virus!!! A nasty one that took 3 hours to finally remove! It's ridiculous that B&B can't remedy this.
I picked it up once with FFox and once with IE.

Never again will access this site on my Personal PC or Work PC.

I have no idea why it only happens on this site....and the search results do warn against accessing it...Shame on ME for ignoring the warnings!

I know..all of 2 weeks I kept getting this random message..now its gone

I assure you, the team here is sparing no expense to get this taken care of.

When you're a site as big as B&B, using commercial software, people WILL find holes in it. We're doing our best here.

The site was down for 15min or so, should the issues be fixed now Kevin?
Forgot to add, any idea when the wiki and reviews will be back up?

**SpecialK** · 04-21-2012, 11:08 AM

We are reinstalling ALL software from scratch, which should give us a completely clean slate with no methods of entry for the hackers.

The addons will be coming back up slowly throughout the rest of today.

Ah, good luck then

Thanks for the update, hopefully this fixes the recent problems (luckily am on a Mac so haven't been affected).

Yes some very nasty virus's have been popping up in the interwebs. In my experience, I have tracked four such occurrences at my clients to AOL email and Yahoo email....their home email address. I have never gotten anything on my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and IE)

Thanks for your efforts. Good luck.
