THANKS FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM, AUCTIVA GUYS! (and gals)
I know this was a huge problem.
To all other posters WHINING that it took Auctiva a few days and WHINING that their computers got infected:
DEAL WITH IT. This is a risk you run accessing the internet and not running the appropriately updated AV software on your OWN computer. Don't go blaming Auctiva. It's not their fault. Take responsibility for your OWN actions. Or lack thereof. Do you blame the bus company when you're late for a job interview because the bus got caught in a traffic jam? No. If you did things right, you had an alternate plan (left earlier, knowing you COULD get caught in a jam).
And don't complain that you "lost a $1,200 computer". Get real. Rebuild. Use your backed up data (which you had, right?) And move on. Get back to business. Stuff happens. Deal with it.
My only complaint to Auctiva in all this is that they probably should have been forthcoming in the beginning and shut down the website earlier, instead of trying to "fix the airplane while it was still flying".
Once again, great job Auctiva. Thanks. [B]
and auctiva shouldn't have been protected to prevent this from happening? People come here trusting the site to be safe. You tell then to just deal with it? Your analogy is ridiculous. People had the right to be upset
