I visited the site today from my work computer during lunch (like I always do). A .bat file appeared on my desktop and then ran by itself. It shelled to and from DOS very quickly and then stayed in the DOS shell for a minute or so and displayed something like.


Then after a 45seconds or so, it went back to windows and everything was fine.

Every time I load www.cz28.com it runs the .bat file again.

Here are the contents of the bat file named “o.bat”:
and an accompanying text file named simply “o”:
I’ll do the typical spybot stuff on Monday.

Just thought I should say something.

BTW: This dinosaur is running windows 95 and IE 5. (don’t laugh, we have some old software the requires 9X and I got stuck with it)

Looks like I owe you guys an apology.

I was mistaken...I thought you guys were saying the Shell Gas THREAD was giving off spyware, but now it looks as if this is not an isolated incident.

See...the thing is...with as many people here, someone always has a problem with their computer and since they use this site the most they are quick to jump all over us and accuse us of doing something vile. The alert that is made to us is almost ALWAYS done is a very angry and accusing manner, and 99.9% of the time, the problem never had anything to do with us or this site.

In addition, someone makes the false accusation in this forum, and someone else reads it and says, "Hey...I have some crappy spyware on my computer too. Looks like it is CamaroZ28.Com's fault." Next thing you know, people are posting on other sites that Chris and Jason are bad guys and the site gets a bad rep for nothing. This is why we try to ask if anyone has this kind of problem, to e-mail us first so we can look into it instead of feeling like we are put on the spot. It is far too common, and it is almost always a non-constructive warning that is given to us instead of a helpful one.

In this case...something clearly went wrong and we honestly don't do things like this on purpose since it is out of our hands and we have no prior warning of it.

I think I took care of it...but I am not going to stop there. I want to do my best to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again. We don't like it any more than you do.

So please accept my apologies for my hasty reply, and please also accept our thanks for the help.

If any problems like this continue, please do not hesitiate to e-mail us and let us know with as much information as possible.

Thanks again.
