Check your computers...

Somehow, my websites got modified to serve up some content from a site that is known to send malware to your computer. I'm investigating how this happened, but I don't think it was through this forum - I think another customer on my hosting provider did it somehow.

But, scan your computers for virus and malware.

I feel horrible...I'm sorry. I don't know anything about the malware that site serves, so I can't tell you what to search for, or if you even would have been infected. The issue started a couple days ago, and I started the cleanup last night.

The good news is that it gave me a good reason to update to the latest phpBB software and portal software.
