FYI.



This has happened frequently. For Instance doing a Google search returned this link:



http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CDoQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autopia.org%2Fforum%2Fcar-detailing-product-discussion%2F101096-all-aluminum-lotus-super-7-detailed-please-help.html&ei=v2GBUe__BMLIyAHAjIHICA&usg=AFQjCNHBCsYG-wAUG6VKunZsuzaYkJmFAQ&bvm=bv.45921128,d.aWc&cad=rja



I realize it`s on old thread and probably doesn`t exist any longer but I`m being redirected to:



FileStore72.info - Your File Hosting (http://filestore72.info/download.php?id=dbdebaad)



A search for that url has talk about Forums being infected. I`m not saying Autopia is, just saying what others have said.

This has been happening to me too. It`s very frustrating. Something is wrong. It`s happening from Google and Google Reader.

Yep, been happening, the board has been hacked again. I sent Ben email about this and how to fix it last week, with no response.

I just sent Ben a message to look into this. I know several forums are currently experiencing this same issue. Sorry for the inconvenience and stay tuned for the fix...

Hey Guys,



Sorry that I have not been active as of late. Was home with a nasty flu most of last week.



We are well aware of the redirect exploit that is affecting us as well as may other vbulletin forums currently. We have done several things over the past two weeks to beef up security and stop this from happening, yet it comes back due to vulnerabilities inhered with the forum software and plug ins. It is not a simple or easy fix.



We will continue to try and enhance the secuirty of the forums until we find a permanent fix.



Thanks for your understanding.
