Right, I need help sooo fast, that I can't even go into too much detail, but I'll explain all as soon as it's fixed. Someone got hold of my password, deleted everything off my server, and now my forum has gone completely. However, I just signed into my server and my database is still there. Because this is still there, is there a way I can get my Web FTP thingy back up?

Hi
I'm afraid I'm not all that good at stuff like this, but I do know that a few people clicked on to your site and it gave them a virus. I think it was called the redlof-A virus.
I don't know if this might have caused your problems.
sorry I can't help more.

It doesn't have the virus anymore. That was when it was over at ezboard. But, now I'm using PHP.

I think I may be getting somewhere now. What is a Database Server Hostname / DSN

Try using 'localhost' as the hostname.

Ignore the address in my signature, because that's the old one.

I'd chance anything right now, because I really need it back. This forum uses PHP. Is there anybody here who I could give my server username and password to, who might be able to go there and see what's wrong. I really need help!

This is what comes up when I go to my site:

But I don't have a clue what to type in...

You could always try http://www.phpbb.com

The community boards there are really helpful

OMG! - That's giving access to your setup to anyone who wants to mess with it...!

Whoosh.... right over my head!

oooooo errrrrr......well I daren't click on owt to have a look even if I thought I could help with all this virus talk!

Is it just me or does everyone get the feeling like you're a kid and Christmas is coming? lmao

I have removed the address from your signature as it does not apply any more, especially with all this talk of viruses.

The SARS virus!!Here!!*Holds his breath*

I'm soooooo happy! Everything has been sorted out! I did unfortunately loose the whole of my site, but I now have a brand new one and I can thankfully keep the same address too. No viruses, no adverts, no po-ups, no worries! Address in sig!

No pop-ups...? Oh yes there are ! Those 'nice people' from Tokelau have a pop-up every time someone visits a site with .TK on the end.

For those not in the know - you can get a FREE .TK domain name as long as you are able to use it. They delete names which are not used and let those be re-issued. To get to Tokelau you need a 37 hrs boat trip from Apia, West Samoa. http://www.tk/vc00902.html The TK domain suffix is being managed by a Chicago company, you can buy names or get a free one.
