Thread: SOS web site under attack again

MJ, I don't think timidity is part of ANY OF OUR DNA!


Thank God!

I've been having problems as well. I have Spybot, Adaware, Norton and run checks atleast 2x's a day. I have cable hook up and it's running SLOW and freezing up all the time. I too went to the Constitution Party sight and got the message, "I SEE YOU". Wierd.

Has anyone been to the above site before and know that it's good?

Is the person who started that site, aware of what's happening? Does anyone know?

Arrest the hacker/s!

If you guys need a good spyware removal program, use Webroot Spysweeper. Tests have shown that many of the free programs miss a lot of the spyware on your computer. PCworld ran a test a little while back where they loaded computers with certain types of spyware. Some free programs caught only 60% or so while Spysweeper caught over 90%.

I've used it for a long time and I've never had any problems whatsoever.

I have been to SOS today. But when I try to go to a topic, all I get is,"Fatal error: Cannot Instantiate non-existent class: skin_global_5 in /home/jsaveour/public_html/forums/sourcesipsclass.php on line 1353 What is that anyway?

Have had problems sometimes in the past accessing ALIPAC but no other sites, not sure why that was. Has not happened lately. Also everytime I have an issue with my computer my anti-virus is the first place I look and run a scan. So far (knock on wood ) have not gotten any viruses and my firewall is holding up pretty good and yes I do like when I get the messages that someone is trying to access my computer and they are denied and put on the list in my software no access allowed

Let's all keep in mind that websites have trouble from time to time. We have had our share. It takes a huge amount of money to maintain a site like CNN or Drudgereport where the downtime is very low.

IE Internet explorer is every hacker's b--ch,
use mozilla's firefox browser http://www.mozilla.com/
I was not able to log on to SOS forums but did not get stung by the virus.

firefox is free! & you can install & use firefox without removing IE.

I do the following every week:

Run MS disk clean.

Run disk defrag(menter) if needed.

Manually update your anti virus and firewall programs.

Run a full system virus scan.

Manually update your anti spyware program.

Run a full system spyware scan.

Make sure that both your virus and spyware programs are set to run in the "back ground" on your system, and that the "auto update" features are enabled.

Set your MS IE (if applicable) security and privacy internet options (under "tools") as high as possible, while still allowing your favorite websites to be downloaded. Repeat this procedure for your firewall security settings.
