  Hey guys, we were offline for a few days after a massive Malware attack on the server.
  
  I hope we have set up new protection from those backdoor attacks 🙁
  
  I want to thank the guys over at http://www.wewatchyourwebsite.com for cleaning and fixing the problems from the attack.
  
  If you have your own hosted site and have issues with malware and other virus on your server please check them our for help.
  
  WELCOME BACK ALL MY CTOA FAMILY MEMBERS !!!
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Hal

  Yes, glad to see the sites ok. I don't always post but I do look and was surprised when the site failed to open.
  
  Thanks Hal

  I hope it stays healthy for a long time. Just know if it goes offline again, it just means we are working out other issues.
  
  Now I got to go to GOOGLE and report that my site is SAFE so they will not call it a possible threat..ugggggg what a pain

  I see the “Chinese Tractor Owners Association” logo was a casualty, it's off to the left

  Glad you got it back up and running right, Hal! I definitely missed it when it went down and was asking on other forums if anyone knew anything. I'm actually relieved to hear it was a malware attack rather than health or personal problems. I was worried you'd maybe been taken sick or your friend the mayorette had pitched you in the pokey or something.
  
  If you don't download those porn sites and pirated MP3s you won't get malware, you know.

  You got that right, and that good ole Mayorette of Hardy..well Karma will fix that ole meanie right up !! He lies will catch up with her.
  
  As for the site, I hope all is okay.. it was not fun to see this site and 11 other sites of mine all offline because of one big attack across the board.
  
  Also, thanks for worrying and asking. I even had a few members call me to make sure all was okay! You guys are the greatest !!!

  Hmmmmmm I did not notice any issues, maybe just general internet slowness!
