No idea why the thread was even started.

Sherm definately is beyond reproach, as all the guys at Duke Dollars.

Glad to see you're on top of this Sherm

and as far as being trustworthy goes, Sherm is one of very few people I would trust with the keys to my house and my atm pin code

Glad to see things are being worked out, Sherm. If you need me to punch anyone in the balls, just let me know.

Hey Sherm... I'm sorry you got fucked over. I trust you and was NOT impressed to see a thread like this. You're cool in my books :)

there has been a couple exploits lately, one was on the gb trading script that a friend runs, I've since convinced him to get a different script. Shermsshack, glad you got it fixed..........................

It's sad that people have to resort to these practices to make money... But what I don't understand is how money is made if a user's computer falls apart due to the coding. :error

Major (Tom) 09-21-2006 04:18 PM

If anybody doubts sherms honesty and integrity has no business being in this business, and motives for posting this under such questionable circumstances (like your icq chat with sherm) should point all fingers at the accuser.

Sherm would never do such a thing.

Im sorry,

I jumped to conclusions, and i made a mistake posting on GFY before making sure sherm was aware of the issue.

I had a long day trying to fix my main computer, and the post was made out of anger. Im sorry i implied that sherm was behind it and is hould have known better, i did apologize to him and here i am apologizing to the adult community. I made a mistake, i know sherm has built his business around his reputation and to tarnish it was not right.

Once agian, sorry Sherm, i made a mistake and i hope you take it as just that.

GrouchyAdmin 09-21-2006 05:01 PM

No webmaster would intentionally fuck their clients. It's pretty obvious that someone figured a way in and placed the offending code there.

Also, an incredibly strange abuse of an iframe, since I didn't think that worked anymore.

TDF 09-21-2006 07:06 PM

looks like everyone posted for me..thanks!

Looks as if he was actually trying to help you out and you did get quickly notified, unless I'm missing something.

shermo 09-21-2006 07:21 PM

Thanks for clearing it up VAS. We all make mistakes... But in the future, please contact a webmaster and get a reply directly before pointing the finger in such a public manner.

Cheers!

Yes you are missing a bit... Please refer to:
https://gfy.com/10895675-post9.html

He accused me of purposely installing malware on my site. He also titled the thread "Drama" and pointed the finger directly at me. If it was an honest attempt to help me, it would have said something along the lines of "Sherm... Check out shermsshack.com... It looks like it was exploited!"

The way it reads to people who don't open the thread is that I install spyware on my surfers' computers...Which I don't and I never will.

yota71 09-21-2006 07:32 PM

In IE Set active scripting to promt and that will help

If I had a site completely mess up my pc I might be a little pissed off also. In these days where some webmasters purposely run spyware exploits to get paid I can see where his initial thinking was. Nobody likes to be accused of something they aren't doing, but on the contrary, if you notify a malicious webmaster privately they have the time to remove it before the webmaster community sees what is going on.

Even though it could have been handled better, I think you should be thankful to him for bringing this to your attention and not be so caught up in what people might think of you on the boards.

I had 10 voicemails and 5 text messages to me alert me, as well as a handful of ICQ's when I awoke. If I were installing Spyware like most cheats do (which I'd never do), I definitely wouldn't have done it to the point of crashing people's PC's... Do you follow me here? That site is about 5 years old with a lot of bookmarkers, SE traffic, etc... Would I really want to mess something like that up?

If it were as simple as you say, I'd have no problem with him doing that. I don't really mind what people think of me on a PERSONAL level, but when it collides with business, I take that VERY seriously. I have a business reputation to maintain, and when that is threatened, I react. Maybe you understand, and maybe you don't. Put yourself in my shoes and maybe you'll understand.

vas 09-21-2006 08:10 PM

i handled it poorly, i should have just alerted him... i apologized unequivically.

i over reacted, sherm understands where im coming from based on our icq conversation, and i certainly understand that i messed up and over-reacted and definately understand where he is coming from.

i think thats the end to this drama..

Sherm,

You may want to point your surfers to some spyware removal programs. Im sure a lot of your loyal surfers would appreciate it a helping hand getting that crap off their systems.

Fucking ad/spy/scum ware. :mad:

tical 09-21-2006 08:28 PM

Fucking ad/spy/scum ware. :mad:

the way i got rid of it was waiting an hour or so for the system to actually boot up, then using farmanager kill all the processes in the memory that looked strange, some were masked, but farmanager exposes them all and allows you to kill processes in debug mode.

then i used hijack this to remove everything from the start up...

there may be an easier way, but thats the way that worked for me.. im sure some of it is still on my comp, lesson learned.. heh

I had a feeling this was all it was, it was obvious you were just trying to figure out what was going on and had no agenda.

heywood 09-21-2006 10:51 PM

On a related note, there is an exploit in awstats that wasn't widely published, and many people have been taking advantage of this one to put in those javascript popups like you got.

Fuckers.

Vendzilla 09-21-2006 10:54 PM

didn't know about that, thanx, not using it right now, thank god

Thanks for the find... Hitting the host up again to make sure everything is patched up. I don't have AWStats, but I think it's offered to others. I'd hate for this to happen to anybody else. :mad:

FuzzBuzz 09-26-2006 12:51 PM

i got the same thing on my blog, anyone know where it came from. im updating all my blogs. ive told my host about it might be awstats is this comfirmed?

Please check the date of this thread and read the posts more than just the thread title. There was a script exploit, and I now have my host locking up the site much tighter than before.
