Rachel: Yep. But only the websites on that particular machine, another machine in the same mount would be fine. So Paula's other sites are fine. Paula: "I am terribly upset, believe me" Don't be. These things happens and your dealing with it. Be proud your doing a Good Job of sorting it out. If their people don't come in until the afternoon and their servers are catching colds, I'd say it's time to move to a new host :) As for why some folks got caught and some didn't. Thats mostly a browser issue, IE users will get natched and some firefox users won't. Youe friend is correct about removing the page, they might not be able to check things if theres no index document. But the longer it's up, the more people get hit. Catch 22. Remove the index so the site wouldn't load from your URL. Then use Ardiva's idea and use Google to access the other pages.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
