A script injector has fucked up ShoutWire! Please read this in case your machine was affected.
Ladies and gentlemen, ShoutWire is under attack.Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.
In the wee hours of the morning, unscrupulous fucks used a script injector to fuck with ShoutWire’s user tables. As a result, a script has been added to pretty much any link associated with user profiles, as well as comment rating and sorting.
If you use IE, you may have infected your machine by clicking on a link containing this script.
While the developer works frantically to solve the problem, I recommend that users run an anti-malware program or check for suspicious processes (especially aspimgr.exe). People using IE may be especially vulnerable.
This problem should be sorted by the end of the day. All staff, user and developer resources have been brought to bear on this problem. The staff apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this malicious attack on SW’s sovereignty.

Info About The Problem, With Solutions and Preventative MeasuresRemoval InstructionsEdit: The script was appended to every link, not just profile related. All of them.
If anyone is running Firefox with Ad-Block Plus, add the following domain into your filter list: http://www.usabnr.com/
This will prevent the script from phoning home when you click links, and should prevent any malware from spreading to your computer.
IE users, add the domain to your firewall's blocked list, or append the following:
0 www.usabnr.com
0 http://www.usabnr.com/
To your host file (located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc), which should keep your computer from establishing a connection to the site.
