to my amazement when i checked my account (to check the counter stats) today there suddenly is a porn popup and i've gotten three different virus warnings.
norton removed these virusses with ease and there was no repeat on a next visit but the porn popup still comes back.
i don't like to have porn popups even on a free account, it will keep people from visiting my site.
or is there some hacker been busy ?

I have same problem on my site too!
And i confuse that this porns ads are putting directly in my scripts.
After i deleted this porns ads from my scripts and changed my login password here to a new one.
They stop to appear but they will be back shortly again!
It seems so horrible, cos it means that someone can still get my password after i renew it!

We do not have any adult ads in rotation.

Change your passwords and check your computer for spyware (hackers that have access to your machine will see your new password as soon as you change it).

hkskyline ... your script itself is not secure and the porn is being added via the script, not by logging into your account.

it's in my script too, already fixed some pages but i have to check all pages and that's a hell of a job on a site with almost 70 pages.
the controlboard is not the fastest to work with imo.
how can i change my password?
already checked my computer with various anti spyware programs and he's clean.
i suppose my password is too easy to guess.
if somebody explains me how to change my password i will do it emadiatly.

What script do you use?

t35.net/memarea will let you change your password.. but if its script related the changing of the password won't help much.

change your password, and upload the site again from a clean backup version you have on your harddisk, thats the way i fixed it.
now just wait and see if it comes back, is it possible to sue the sites which ads you  get that way?
if so they got something coming if they return, gonna ask a friend of mine when he's back from his holiday he's a lawyer.

But my scpits was running for a year until now
Its all fine before.
And i use all kind of method try to prevent it.
Like change password, anti-virus & anti-spyware.
But the ads still be back!

that's the problem, my site is runnig for about half a year without any problems, until a shithead discovered that the site is visited extremely well (4000+ vieuws in half a year) and decided that it would be a good site to crack and use for free promoting.
their back now on my site, and not only one pornpopup but a lot of them, even that much that Internet explorer crashes.
al popups are not directly linked but via via so it's not possible to trace the sites responsible for it.
maybey some corrupt employee of T35.com ?
my computer is protected by firewalls and spyware scanners so the only way i can think of this happening is somewhere on the other side ,sorry guys i'm really happy about the possibilities T35 offers for free but if this shit doesn't stop i'm forced to get another host or get an offordable paid account if that's better protected..
because i'm not the only one on the T35 free accounts who has this problem i wonder if there are any on the paid accounts who experience the same shit.

I use all method to prevent it but seems all useless!
And these ads become more active now
Cos it just attack some of my files before
but now it inside all of my files(some thousands),
I really can't to delete it one by one anymore
so i think its the time that i need to close my site if i still can't find the way to stop it!

hkskyline ... your script itself is not secure and the porn is being added via the script, not by logging into your account.

I have 2 sites and accounts in t35.com
they are all running on same scripts
but only one site has these porns ads now.
so i think that this is not the problem on the scripts

i just upload my site completely so overwriting that what's on display now, it stays clean for a few days sometimes a week and suddenly those porn ads are back .
growing in numbers every time, even some almost invisible links appear on each page like, forced to sex. com, sounds like a rape porn site and illegal IMO.
the strangest thing is all HTMLfiles are changed at excactly the same time something i can't do it myself due to the restrictions of uploading files to my site.
and editing it manually takes even much more time, that's why i think it's a inside job someone who has access to the whole database of T35 and can change it in a moment.
I'm not accusing anyone but this seems to be the most likely to me.
check it out for yourselfs http://wietsesguitars.t35.com i already cleaned up a few pages but when you go to the english or dutch part of my site they will popup.
it's not funny anymore to have your own site, guitarists all around the world praise my site as highly informative, easy to navigate etc and a lot of eye candy, so shutting it down is not in my planning.
