Sweet, thanks for the sneak-peak, ioi.

Wish I could give some advice to help, but I'm PC-illiterate. :(

Well the headlines so far are Wii sales down a bit, 360 sales up quite a lot and PS3 down. 360 = almost 3 x PS3. Heavenly Sword doing ok, 360 and Wii software remaining strong.

 Wow cool.






I've decided to stay away from this website until the virus / hack problems are solved.

I want to thank you ioi, that you worked so hard on the problem. Not every sitemaker do so, some ignore such problems as they affect only their users. It's hard work to find such a hole that allows a hacker to inject evil code into the site.

The virus / hacking problems are solved. I've had no problems at all myself on 4 different machines all running different browsers and versions. There is no evidence on the server of any problems and only about 3-4 users so far have reported anything.

It does sound to me like something on your PCs, but as I've said if anyone can shed some light then please do so!

I've formated my computer three times already since yesterday and everytime I get the same junk when I visit here. Via my WII it's somewhat safe as I only get a casino ad or something. Via my PC it's simply 'not' safe.

The hacker seemed to be uploading things through the photo uploaders - php scripts they would then execute to modify our pages and add iframes to them. Hence the photo section being currently down until I am happy we have fixed any holes.

American numbers may be up tonight or early tomorrow...

 hahaha, i told you



I would guess that you are getting a virus script through the advertising feeds. I only use firefox but I also use adblock plus which blocks all advertisements on the page from running any kind of code. I have active anti-virus software and I've not once been alerted by my browser or by my antivirus software that I have one. I've also not had one show up on my drive and I do a nightly full scan.



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.

I don't have adblock, and i can't find anything, ANYTHING at the moment suggesting that the site is still infected with something.



I've got Firefox, Internet Explorer, Norton expensive paid anti virusscan, adaware, and a pop up blocker, and "still" I get the same shit every time I visit this website and it's corrupting my computer. It's already been the 5th time in less than a week I had to formate my computer and I'm fed up with that.
