Hi Pete,

Thanks for the HU. Might steer clear of the whole place until the coast is clear. :think:

Laste last night I was surfing FS sites

I picked up a Trojan but I am not sure from where

I was puzzeled because I had not been to any other sites but my Favourites listed FS and aviation sites for research that I do everyday!

Next thing you'll be telling me you downloaded the Stealth and when you went into FS you couldn't see it.

I think we all wish Dano, good luck with sorting it out, it must be hellish, it's bad enough when it's private, but for a business....

Regards

John

Uh, I don't think it applies to aircraft files.

Hi guys,

Many thanks for spreading the warnings- as mentioned above I am indeed on the task and we should have a new set of forums up soon. It's going to take a while to get things rebuilt, and unfortunately the database is.. well.. about as much use as Javelin in a bad storm.

I seriously don't understand why anybody would want to try and do a DoS attack on the Alpha forums. But then, it has happened and I shall sort it!

Thanks for the kind words
Dan.

Where do I say anything about aircraft files?
