Computer Glitch or Hacked?

[AuSeeker]

That is more likely malware on your own system.

Basically what's happening is there's a piece of software that's monitoring what you see on the screen and what you type. It has a list of keywords and links it needs to disseminate so when it sees a keyword, it turns it into a link that it has been told to disseminate. The goal is to have you think it's a normal part of the page and click on it.

I'd do a very thorough sweep of your machine with Avast!, Spybot, and Malware Bytes.

My computer is well protected, scanned for malware automatically.

Also I first noticed the key words being links on posts by others and then on my posts after that, so it definitely something on this site and not my computer, I don't have this issue on most other forums I visit.

On another note I noticed this morning that most, if not all of the header typos are no longer there so it appears that someone is working to correct some of the issues!!

Also when looking back at my posts that had the key words as links that they are no longer links....with the exception of when they where qouted which they are still links in the quotes, so all of this make me feel much better about the forum!!

Also noticed the "notifications" drop down not working..... [MENTION=165]momo.75[/MENTION] can you shed any light on this?

Sorry man, I have been on a camping trip in the mountains with 110 5th graders without service. I got back yesterday afternoon and pretty much been asleep since then. I am digging through about 500 emails right now and trying to get caught up on everything. I will see what was going on and what has been done. sorry.

All good! I'm not trying to place any blame anywhere, you're just the most active Mod I notice on here. Sleep woulda been necessary after that for sure HA!

Thanks for looking into it.

I just wanted to say big thank you to everyone that worked on bringing the site back online!

Your hard work is amazing and we are all extremely grateful to have this great forum back online.

If there is a paypal or gofundme page somewhere, I'd like to send at least beer money for all the hard work.

Thanks again!
