| Trojan Hunter : forum down; strange update
For the TH-users:
1.
The forum is temporarily down. The forum site tells:
quote:
Forums are currently down --
data center in Texas has experienced an explosion in a transformer affecting about 9000 servers.
We hope to have the forums back up late Sunday.
2.
Whether the following is related to that, I don't know but I guess it is.
I got a little bit strange update on Sunday 1 June 2008 using LiveUpdate:
I noticed that some files were reverted back to previous versions:
thguard.exe
I had version 5.0.0.278 with size 1047712.
It is now version 5.0.0.277 with size 1046688.
trojanhunter.exe
I had version 5.0.0.962 with size 2418336.
It is now version 5.0.0.962 with size 2417824. |

Yes, I was thinking that too.
I guess we can use the European TH-server for updates. |

Mail is down as is FTP so I am having an unexpected couple of days off, which is nice 
Some functionality is restored, the problems continue to be fixed after a fire at the datacenter (7500 customers servers were affected! ouch..)
Your update must be the last one that was mirrored by the US server ? strange about the EXE change as well, Magnus may need to change something there |

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about the update I received yesterday. This explains it. |

Thanks Gavin for coming here and keeping us informed; much appreciated!
As for the changes I noticed: I could have posted detailed info from my file-integrity-checker NISFileCheck but thought that it would not make much sense.
Best regards,
Jan. |

| Mannnn I am glad I was not on that crew what a mad house it must have been.
I mean several years ago a client had a forklift crash thru a wall and take out a little equipment. I know what a mess that was but it was not near what those people faced.
My hat is off to them. That they are restoreing service as
quick as they are is a near miracle or great disaster planning on their part. |

Hi Tom,
No, it didn't; but see point 2 below.
1.
Here is the report from NISFileCheck together with MD5 checksums (which NISFileCheck doesn't use):

2.
I re-installed TH, using the install-file which I downloaded in March.
And that gave me the right files back :
Application: c:\program files\trojanhunter 5.0\thguard.exe
Status: Changed
Version old: 5.0.0.277
Version new: 5.0.0.278

3.
Then I used LiveUpdate, using the EU-server, to get the last definitions:
Ruleset datestamp : 2008-05-30
Scan kernel : 5.0 (Aurelius)
Ruleset entries : 174080
Trojan definitions : 66668
Detection rules : 174080
4.
PS: I don't understand why different "versions" (they have different size) of the main-file TrojanHunter.exe have the same build-number. |

Re: Trojan Hunter : forum down; ...
TH Forum and Website down again: further outages due to generator breakdowns:
From ThePlanet Forum -
"...This morning at approximately 2:45 a.m. CST, the temporary generator supplying power to the servers and environmental control systems located in Phase 1 of our H1 facility shut down. This was caused by some faulty current sensors in the output breaker. The sensors detected an out of balance current condition that did not exist.
Technicians from the generator company were onsite within 15 minutes. After working on the breaker for an hour, they believed the issue was remedied, and the generator was restarted. As the servers and environmental control systems were brought back online, the breaker again caused the generator to trip offline.
At this time we have a replacement breaker in route to the site and will get power restored as soon as physically possible.
We understand the difficult situation this causes for our customers. As such, we are offering to move all H1 Phase 1 customers to our H2 data center here in Houston. This requires physically moving servers to our data center, which is approximately three miles away from the H1 data center. It also requires IP address changes for all servers relocated to H2."

No wonder that data center can't get back on it's feet..you and the family have been plugging in that Magnum XL-200 with too long a power cable.
About time you give it up and head over to Myrtle Beach and take some real rides.

Apparently we are both on the first floor of this data center, as I'm offline again as well. (Hi Magnus if you're lurking.) |
