the problem is...to do that you have to start PT (which still is in autoupdate-mode ldo)

Obv you can disconnect from the Internet before startin PT. I.e. unplug the cable or if you use wireless then just click on the icon and choose disconnect.

I think he would probably try to hack PaHud instead.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, but would he make a video of his unsuccessful attempts?

Yes, that's correct all PT does it tell you a new update is available. You still have to go and download/install it and at that your AV software should be checking the downloaded file, if not you can do it manually.

It's not going to tell you anything now because the entire site is down.

And yes, this is really Pat.

anyone else get this?

Regarding the virus screenshot, there seem to be 3 variants of it. These pages give more information and/or explain how to get rid of it:

Trojan-Downloader.JS.Psyme.gy
Trojan-Downloader.JS.Psyme.am
Trojan-Downloader.JS.Psyme.bs

The warning from the virus detection program is only about a web page containing the Javascript for the virus. That Javascript tries to exploit a flaw in Internet Explorer. If that exploit worked then the virus detector would have picked up the trojan that it tried to install. Since it didn't you should be fine. Follow the directions in those web pages just in case though.

If you use Firefox, you'll have less problems, since most virus writers don't target it :-)

Another question. Could whoever has hacked the site be harvesting IP addresses from those of us whose PT checks for updates to try to hack our machines at a later date?

You can disable the automatic update check in Help -> Check For New Version Preferences.

Umm, unplug your computer from the internet first? Think outside the box people!

[ptrack pat]

To keep PT from doing a version check you can also change the registry.

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PTrack change CheckVer to a 0 instead of a 1 and then it won't check to see if there are updates.

Again, PT doesn't automatically download any updates, it just alerts you that they can be downloaded by you manually.

And also again, with the site down, it's just going to hang while checking unless you turn off the checking for updates.

Move to virus vault then remove it then run another scan to make sure it has not come back

That depends on a lot of things like whether or not this information was actually stored in a database (which is probably the case) and whether or not the hacker was able to obtain access to said database.

PT Pat would probably be able to answer this, though.
