Hi Everyone,

My apologizes for the recent downtime. It was reported by some members that malware was present. Of course in the interest of safety, the site was shut down temporally to locate and resolve the problem. I am now happy to report that MD is clean, and what was causing the issues found and removed.
But to double make sure, the entire site has been reinstalled fresh, and security loopholes plugged and software all up to date.
As always, thank you to the members for bringing this problem to our attention and we will continue to keep MD a safe and fun place to be.

Welcome back,

Tony Cool
Regards,

Tony (Techman)

Yeah, kinda nasty trojan. Do you have a specific ID on it so we can check our registries for any residual effects? I have very strict and beefy security software, and it still got through, so I would like to check manually. Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what it was. It only seemed to affect some people. But majority had no problem. The site also seems to run a lot faster now
