Hi Mro,
The system was re-installed with windows and i did have AVG running but it seems the system was still not secure.
I run a firewall on the router and also had the firewall on the windows system itself.
somthing or someone keeps erasing files in the bbs directory.
also the system had a mass of web popups.
I find this strange as this is a dedicated pc for the bbs.
I have now loaded Linux mint onto the PC as i was told this would be harder to "hack" or get into.
I dont know much about linux so its a very big learning curve but a good one, Ive always wanted to have a play with Linux and learn it so i suppose this has been a good thing. Well not for my users.....
Regards Raven.

Hey Gandolf,
I have backup so im ok there. My system backs up every night onto a usb hdd. I have setup the system since and keeps been hacked.
what do you mean 'hacked' ?
that is a very vague word. do you not have antivirus and other security measures?
did you do an os reinstall and install antivirus and then setup the bbs?
do you have a RAT?
