NWC Down Again
I use Opera, but I wasn't completely immune. I got the file ORZ.exe twice - the first time it crashed out and the second time I killed it. Doing a little searching, I found out it was a trojan horse and so it was quickly deleted. Anyways, I hope they can get it fixed, but I'm staying away until it is.
Re: NWC Down Again
I said it before and I'll say it again, I have no faith that the small team (NWC) will defeat the big unseen team (hackers). Sorry, but that is my estimate. I really liked NWC, but the days of the lone-coder providing solid product in the face of miscreants with hacker tools is way over.
Be well. Game on.

Re: NWC Down Again
NWC seems to be cleaned up atm again, though if the hackers are persistantly attacking the place, it's gonna really decrease it's usefulness. Hopefully the team can, and will, come up with a way to immunize/block these delinquents soon.
In any case, it's prudent to continue to back up your posts and comm links.

Re: NWC Down Again
The manage campaign function of NWC is down - it'll try to redirect you somewhere else and possibly install a virus. I disableb javascript whenever I'm browsing over there, that seems to prevent the attacks from doing their thing.
Re: NWC Down Again
Thanks for the heads up. Is that a recent thing, or has it been doing that since last round of attacks?
Re: NWC Down Again
It's fairly recent because I was able to use that part a few weeks ago. Right now, it comes up blank and tries to re-direct you if you have Javascript enabled.

Re: NWC Down Again
I haven't been able to connect to NWC for the last few days, all I get is the server timed-out message, and I tried disabling Javascript but it makes no difference. All my other regular sites are working fine, so there's nothing wrong with my internet connection.

Re: NWC Down Again
Tried it, made no difference, even tried using different browsers. My comp might be blocking it because of all the viruses lurking around the site (if they're still there?) Very frustrating.
