Hi All,
The website has been cleansed. Seems someone managed to access an admin account (which has now had password changed and admin rights removed) and change the footer of the message board to download this file and also used the Bulk Email facility of the board to email all the members.

I've sorted things and sent an apology email to all Message Board members.

PLEASE NOTE: This was ONLY the message board, the rest of the site was unaffected.

REMEMBER : A good AV will protect you from naughty stuff and if you deliberately install software from an unverified source then you are a GREXNIX!

Hope that clear things up - please note that the FQ site is on a UNIX server and hosted by the same people as 2000adonline. Not sure how the password was guessed but beleive me the main site passwords are guarded with my life (ok Bolt-01's life)

Kindest Regards
