Seems to be a reocurring (sp) problem of hacking on the IX server which USGenWeb and most of ILGenWeb is using. Hacking comes with a virus. Eastern countries are involved with IX. When you are warned not to go there, TAKE HEED, do not go there. IX has been going thru thousands of files cleaning the mess out. It is working but slow since the counties have so many files online. Keeping my fingers crossed that my server isn't hacked but if it is a warning will appear not to go there and maybe before I know and before I can warn you. Some people are just plain stupid and think they are having fun with hacking. Keep your virus checker up to date! Do not let it lapse. gloria At 09:08 AM 12/17/2009, you wrote: >All of the ILGenWeb sites got hacked, and it is being worked on and is >almost resovled. >The host server company and the ILGenWeb people have been working to prevent >this >from happening again.
