FAH-Addict: Folding@home's premier news site.

I'd like to publicly thank Vijay for his latest blog article : http://folding.typepad.com/news/2010/02 ... ctnet.html

FAH-Addict is currently offline.

Some of you might have noticed that connecting to the server triggers a virus warning. I'll leave it offline until I can figure out what's happening here.

Hi i was just wondering if by "offline" you mean that that i get the following error on my FF:

ERROR
Service Unavailable

The requested service is unavailable.

Please try again later.

[toTOW]

Yes, I've disabled apache ... so you should get this kind of error.

I don't have an exact ETA for the return of the site ... by the end of this week end I hope.

I had something like that happen to my webserver a while back. I ran rkhunter on my VPS and it found a worm I was able to eradicate fairly easily. Hopefully your server's issue is that easy to fix.

Lynis might also be a good thing to run: http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/lynis.html

[toTOW]

Both ClamAV and rkhunter didn't find anything on the server ... but the corrupted files are still present : the virus modified index.php and index.html files to add a portion of Javascript, to infect more people (and to prevent that, I stopped apache) ...

We're in the process of removing these part of code, but it takes time

[PantherX]

Hope you can fix this soon. I was wondering if your site supports RSS feeds or not?

[toTOW]

Yes it does ... look for the little RSS icon, next to news titles, news categories, articles, forum, ...

[PantherX]

Great, thanks a lot, hope the site is back online soon.

[toTOW]

We're back ... a news will follow ... I hope we cleaned everything and that won't happen again

Well done and good luck with the site toTOW

Thanks for the fast response, really like your site, now all I am waiting for is the reviews for Nvidia Fermi.

[toTOW]

I think an announcement is scheduled today ... I hope we'll have interesting informations to write a news ...

And the existence of a review will depend on only on one thing : the price of the card

[BuddhaChu]

According to this source from this morning, Nvidia Fermi will be launched at PAX 2010 in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday March 26, 2010 at 6pm

Nvidia has a page up too describing their presentation at the date/time above:

I know, but it's useless to talk about it unless we have some interesting things to say ...

But I might write something since I saw some prices being leaked on a website
