Page 1 of Anyone else have problems today with AVFORUMS

Anyone else having problems getting into AVFORUMS site this morning, 1st time I tried to access it is asked me to tell it which programme I needed to open up a PHP file extension.

I chose programme as Firefox and told it to `always use this prog` now all it does it fire in about 500 tabs and just keeps doing this even if I close all the current tabs.

My dad is having similar problem as it`s asking him to open it with Adobe?

Wondering if we both infected with same virus or spyware or if is is the AVFORUMS site that is the problem.

Anyone help?

It`s doin me head in ...

Sorry if this should be in PC`s and Mobiles section.

Thanks,

Mike.

:o :o :o

Ok at least we know its not just our own computers PHEW !

I`ve been trying for over an hour to get it sorted --- >:(

Suppose we will need to wait and see what happens, I was pretty sure it was the site but thanks for confirming it.

It`s strange how the `always use this programme` option is blanked out so you can`t change it, site might have been hacked :o

Keep you posted if I get any joy with access.

Cheers,
Mike.

Yep same problem here

Most likely they have upgraded Apache and not backed up their config file. Which means their web server no longer knows what php files are for, and therefore assumes they are mean`t to be downloaded by the user.

Which ironically also means you can download the raw PHP source code for each page you view, if you want. :)
