I use Vista Mrs Knight and everything is tickity boo with my computer as I have just run a series of system checks, so it is probably harmless to anybody with up to date anti-virus software - I reckon that the hacker is probably an irate banker who doesn't like IVA's !!!!
I've looked on Google and although it says that the site may harm your computer McAfee are saying it's ok.
I've run a full scan and found nothing wrong, although I've had a couple of pop ups saying my computer needed to be scanned that I've been unable to close without closing the internet.
Pedler _ I thought the same thing! But how can someone gain from trying to hjack IVA people - we've got no info of any use or money to take! Plus all our credit ratings are a no go! So even if Idenity theft was to be tried, it would be fat chance of getting any!

Yes poor targets for ID theft at the moment, put very targetted if you have a long term view and are collecting data to use later on when your credit files are back to normal.
Protective CIFAS markers is the way to ensure protection post your IVA.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Just to prove the importance of internet security and being wary here is an article from Feb this year:
The Chinese authorities have shut down what is reportedly the country’s biggest hacker training site.
So says the China Daily newspaper, in a move which comes not long after the Google hacking incident which saw accusations fly against China.
The hacking school, called Black Hawk Safety Net, allegedly imparted cyber-crime techniques via lessons and online forums.
Three people were arrested, and $250,000 worth of assets were frozen.
Apparently the site was set up in 2005, and had more than 12,000 paying customers.
Velly Intelesting hey!
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
Funds paid to date accepted as F&F 16th August 2013, the wait for completion begins.
Wait over....certificate recieved 3rd May 2014
