If you use any of the following scripts:

FA-PHPHosting
PHPClique
PHPCalendar
PHPCurrently
PHPFanBase
PHPQuotes

Please disable them immediately or use the fix specified below. There are serious exploits going around the net right now and have been for the past few months. All of these scripts are made by http://codegrrl.com/ and have a ridiculously easy hole in them:
"
include($logout_page);
"
This allows an attacker to include whatever code they wish into the php file and run the commands.
To avoid getting your site defaced, we recommend you either remove the protection.php file asap, or edit it and remove that line above.

Hello,

Unfortunately `viva` will be restored tonight due to the disks quickly deteriorating. Clients hosted on this machine will see their sites coming online in alphabetical order.

I will release more information about this server as I receive it.

Thank you for your continued patience during this process.
