I posted yesterday that some ebook rubbish had nicked my site. http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/16900
Thanks to all for the help, especially Eric. Name.com were very helpful, and www.webhistoryofengland.com is now, once again, about England!
Good -- it's a great website. Looks like it must be a lot of work -- how did someone kidnap it?
Good stuff - Glad that it was sorted!
I did a little research into this lordmmb, or whatever his name is, and he seems to be involved in the pirate and hacking community. You might want to do a sweep for spyware etc, if you haven't already, just in case
Thank goodness!!!!! I read that thread yesterday and was shocked that something like that could happen (scary!)
Perhaps you could write a hub about the steps you took to get back your site. Unfortunately, I bet this will start happening more frequently so I bet folks will be searching for that information.
No idea about AVG - maybe Eric, Earnest or Misha might be able to help with that one.
I use a programme called Advanced WindowsCare V2 Personal, available for free from download.com. It seems to pick up most of the crap and has good reviews.
Not a techie, so I am at the limits of my knowledge, but remember to create a restore point before running it - I have never had a problem, but just in case......
I'm glad you got it back. It was scary. I checked my wordpress blog right after you posted because I hadn't been on it for about a month. You'd think the hosting company could avoid such things from happening.

Why do I keep seeing 9:11 PM on the clock?Because nearly every night, I check the clock at exactly 9:11 PM and it's becoming a really disturbing coincidence... tell me if you've experienced something like this! And why it's happening!

Help! I need some advice. Another one of my hubs has been copied verbatim with all the pictures, and the one who copied it indirectly refused to remove it.Three days ago I left a comment on his site politely asking him to remove my article but got no response for two days. This prompted me to file...

I just got this comment from a reader on one of my most popular hubs: "There may have been good information in this article but i had to stop reading because I'm on my phone and the mobile page had too much distracting crap blinking and popping up, and taking up half my screen space. I felt...

I notice I still have some articles published on Hubpages.com. What's the story about those? Are they visible and indexed on the web? The URLs are appearing in a search, so they must be.

It's exactly as the subject title states. Yesterday, I got roughly 100 more credited impressions but made roughly the same amount of money thanks to the CPM being lower.Is anyone else in the same boat as me?
