Well? Bright shiny new year coming up.

Guess we all needed bright new avatars, as well.

:)

That surprises me.

Many times when I tried to contact the forum website I never had a warning but I had the error

"Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './initdata.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php53/pear') in /home/ccleaner/public_html/index.php on line 23"

BUT

I also tried

http://www.piriform....leaner/download

and that connected immediately without any problem

but when I clicked on the Support button on that page and chose the "Community Forum"

I again got

"Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './initdata.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php53/pear') in /home/ccleaner/public_html/index.php on line 23"

I assumed it was only the forum website that had a coding error.

Are you saying that there was an exploit affecting both

http://www.piriform.com

and

http://forum.piriform.com

just affecting the forum software, there were php files changed
