www.spywareinfo.com is a squatter site.

http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/ is fine.

I wouldn't doubt the problem is similar to this one:

IE: the person thought that the site was hacked despite the link pointing to the wrong domain. It's not uncommon. Wether that's the case here I haven't a clue, the forum you've linked isn't viewable to me (even after registering...).

Sorry BC_Programmer....................the link is to one of the university discussion rooms which you cannot view.
the statement was posted by one of the administrators this morning........so i just posted on this forum to make people aware.

As it is from ADMIN at malwareremoval.com...and with no current information regarding the statement (yet)  i'll post back when i know more

Hi guys

This is what admin  has quoted... at malwareremoval.com university discussion room

They were working on cleaning the site, and it seems to be back up again; however, considering they have been hacked three times since the 11th of August, I would advise exercising caution when visiting the site.

When a site is infected three times within such a short period of time, something is wrong.

With sites like that, they have to deal with being under constant gunfire, so to speak.  Of course, I don't think I've ever seen a site get nearly as bad as CastleCops.  If they weren't being attacked every few hours, something was wrong.

Yes i quite agree they are under a constant threat from attacks....

Here's another quote

SWI is hosted at Dixiesys, which was sold to 451press in 2008... it hasn't been the same since.

The two prior SWI infections were server infections. It was my understanding that SWI had a dedicated server at Dixiesys. However, the same infection also impacted a number of other sites hosted at Dixiesys. :dontknow:

It might be prudent for SWI to give some consideration to moving the site elsewhere
