Getting "exploit site" warnings from AVG

[Windsun]

We have been getting similar attacks from some of the same IP's.

According to another post, this is an effort to exploit an old bug. However, the fact that these just started up in the past...

We have had it with the crappy hosters, and now everyone of our sites is hosted at either Lunarpages or Singlehop.

We just had some also, with a slight variation. Ours look like this:

We just started getting a few emails about how our forum comes up as a warning on Linkscanner and AVG 8.01.

Has anyone else seen or heard anything of this?

I made a new temporary forum, and just copied the backup of the Phrase from the new one to the old one, and it worked. It seems like that is the only way to fix it in my case, since the table was zero...

[Windsun]

Not sure why you would want to do that though, since so many users have numbers in their name.

I finally got it, it seems that the prefix had a trailing underscore _ that was not showing up because it happened to fall right on the line below it in display.

Still can't get any further after another 24 hours.

I am wondering if Impex can even work with 1.13. It seems to get about half imported and then barfs.

[Windsun]

Been at this for a few hours now..

On step 1 of import it gets part way through, looks like it imports about half or a little less. Then I get this (cut and pasted from the page):...
