You may have come here this afternoon to read a post only to be greated by my screaming daughter.
Yeeaaaah.
Epi got hacked. Sometime last week some kind soul sent me an email letting me know that I had a virus on the site. I did some research, and couldn’t find anything. I installed another antivirus program yesterday, thinking that it was odd that none of my AV programs were catching anything… Fired the program up, nothing. Nada.
This morning Avast lit up like the 4th of July. Within a few minutes The Happy Medic let me know that it got him too. Before I knew it I couldn’t even get into my site admin without setting off the antivirus.
After much drama and cursing on my part, everything was taken down, scrubbed until it was squeaky clean, and put back up.
My sincerest apologies to you, if you were affected by this malicious script… I feel horrible about it. I don’t know how I acquired it, but I’m taking precautions to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
I was wondering what that pop-up window was.
Oh, you’ve also been meme’d. :D

FYI your About & Contact links still don’t work. Glad to see everything is up again
The comment link is in the wrong spot! Hope you get this sorted out…
Good luck. Often the best option is nuking and starting over…
Oh, and the captcha is below the post commment button!!! wtf!!!
Agh, evil hackers. My blog was hacked a few weeks ago as well. Sounds like you’re on top of it and frankly a whole lot more knowledgeable than me in html to get ‘er fixed!
Glad you’re back up.
I’ve lost a few beloved friends recently to some virus that’s making the rounds…damn their eyes whoever is causing this! Glad you got it all scrubbed up!
Sandi
Glad to see your back up and running!
I will have to upgrade my AV software so this doesn’t happen to my blog *shudders at the thought*.
I expect more and more great posts now. Just saying.
P.S. — I bet SWR really can yell loud. HAHA.
Hope you got everything worked out. Viruses and the people that spread them really suck!
I THOUGHT things looked a tad different. Glad your squeaky clean again. *wink* – well at least your blog is.
