OK, Here's website news from just now.....

"The hosting service we use has been compromised and one by one all the sites there have been hacked with redirects to virus, trojans and malware. I'm going to have to shut mocache down now and move it to the new hosting account, then rebuild the site from scratch just to make sure we're not pulling over anything nasty."

So, MoGeo may be down for a bit starting very soon.
Sorry for the interruptions or inconvenience.

That's interesting, because we downloaded malicious software the other day during a MOGA meeting where we had several sites open, including mogeo.com. The software acted as if it had detected a virus and wanted us to go to their site to purchase software that supposedly would remove the virus. It was very persistent, and we got rid of it by doing a restore of previously saved settings from 4 days earlier.
