Flag site was hacked.
Thanks to all who contacted me to inform me that my links on my flag site were not working. I don't know how he did it but some GENTLEPERSON gained remote access to my computer and was able to STRIP all the hyperlinks from my site. This was at he same time as I had been INFECTED by a virus which has been reported by many on facebook. A friend whom I know well sent me a message (a very inane question) on Facebook to which I answered that I didn't know WTF he was on about. Seems he didn't send me any message at all but after that my computer went crazy and some of my web work was found on other sites on the net.
Good job I always back up my HDD drive once a week with Acronis True Image so I was able to restore all. BE WARNED ! A lot of people have been 'hacked' via Facebook recently, but with a message from someone they 'apparently' know.
If anyone sees MN Company Avatars being offered from another site, please let me know. As far as I know I am the only site to offer MN Company flag avatars, so it may help me to identify the 'prick'.
Phewwwwwwwwww...........'feel better now, must have a beer to cool down.
