    3. I checked my pages hosted on usgenweb and my antivirus did not alert me to anything wrong. Can I trust my antivirus and assume that my pages are clean? J.

    3. I wouldn't. Mine did not alert me when I opened my pages in Firefox but did when using IE. Norton did however clean a cookie off my computer and the alert I got from Norton when using IE later was that someone had tried to put a cookie on my site and it was an adobe update. I think my firefox might be set to not accept cookies because I tried to access a site last night that requires a password and I could not get in because cookies were not allowed and that site used them. I have checked my sites that were infected last night and the code is gone from the. Since this was so wide spread maybe it will increase the chances that this idiot will be caught.

    2. Right click on a text part of the page, then click "view source". If you see something that you didn't put there, you've been hacked. In my previous experiences with malicious code, they have been toward the bottom of the page. Dale Grimm > I checked my pages hosted on usgenweb and my antivirus did not alert > me to anything wrong.
