Eureka! I found it.
The website got hacked a while back. and so I thought it was time to update the website from Joomla to WordPress. Joomla is great software, but it was much more than what we needed it for. I also updated our Gallery software, thinking that could also be the culprit. Well, we got hacked again today. WordPress is watertight against bugs that we know of, so I started thinking that my ISP’s server could’ve gotten hacked. So I was checking things out when I remembered we have one more piece of software. It is called phpGedView, and it is the geneaology software that I run. Well, I hadnt updated it in a long time, and there is a worm running around (SunTzu) that is exploiting websites using this software. So I removed phpGedView for now, until I have time to update it. So there ya go.

I’m sorry to hear about the worm in the genealogy program. I have been searching for some information and I came up with “hints” on a Google search which basically said: “Nancy Grinage ‎(I4308)‎. Burial — Arthur Avera’s old Family land, lot 173, Harmony, Putnam Co., Ga Marriage John Avery….” I am looking for information on the Nancy Grinage that married John Avery. My ancestor was her father, Joshua Grinage. Any info you might have on time/place of death and birth and burial would be greatly appreciated and would help me piece together our family history. Thanks. Celeste
