On every access to this site, Kasperky gives me

Denied: http://www.bannertracker-script.com/icons/icons.php

I dunno what that is, but did read this: http://www.benedelman.org/news/022712-1.html

.. which says, in part,

The perpetrators appear to be targeting a documented exploit in vBulletin (a popular forum discussion program built in PHP/MySQL) versions v4.x to v4.1.2. The exploit allows for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP script as well as untrusted SQL queries. It was first reported in German in April 2011, then in English in January 2012. A video tutorial even offers step-by-step instructions on how to use this exploit.

Que pasa?

Thanks. I have referred this to Scottie.

I'm getting the same warning.

I'm surprised that this doesn't warrant more attention.

 

[Domski]

Agreed Shg. I'm still getting the warning on each page refresh.

I just added it to my HOSTS file. Look here http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

 

[shg]

I wonder if getting the site unhacked is an alternative anyone is considering ...

 

[Domski]

I might be being a bit dim but should I avoid visiting here until this has been resolved?

I'm trying to find out the current situation, but I'd suggest for the time being using a script blocker such as NoScript in Firefox or ScriptNo in Chrome and blocking the bannertracker-script.com site.

 

[Domski]

I might have to do some work then
