ANN: Kelly's website

[PA Bear [MS MVP]]

Most of us are familiar with the contributions made by MVP Kelly Theriot to
this newsgroup over the years, and most of us use her website and hosted
files on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, Kelly's website (kellys-korner-xp.com) and associated pages
have been "lost" (temporarily, we hope) and are now being hosted by another,
fairly suspect owner.

Do NOT use or cite any of Kelly's pages or links for the time being!

Do NOT click on any links on the current kellys-korner-xp.com page!

Do NOT click on any links in a pop-up you may get at the current
kellys-korner-xp.com page! [1]

Do NOT click on any links on the current kellys-korner-xp.com page!

No need to panic? The domain has just expired. It's just a standard
expired domain page, which some registrars use to advertise on.

Creation Date: 14-Mar-2002
Expiration Date: 14-Mar-2008

Her address and phone are easily found, if you feel are that concerned.

The fact that it's expired is not the concern. [Kelly is a longtime
colleague and we've been in touch, thankyouverymuch.]

The concern is the rascal currently "sitting" on the page as well as the
graphics and links on the current page. See the references I posted.

This is a sad day,Kelly's website was one of the first sites I found when I
decieded to get off my rear and "learn" something about my operating system.
If memory serves correctly something like this happened about 3 or 4 years
ago as well and she corrected it.(fingers crossed).

The poster who said he had malware must have got it from another source -
nothing to do with that URL address.

There is no rascal "sitting" on the page, other than the registrar. She has
till the 13-Apr-2008 to renew before it is made available.

There is nothing out of the ordinary happening at all, apart from Kelly
Theriot not renewing her domain, for whatever reason.

That would be me.

I visited the site. Hosted by ThePlanet.

When I closed that page I was given the page on; cnomy.com

I was then given a Pop-Up "New Offer!" -- "Do you want to block spam emails".
As I stated this so-called spam blocker is actually adware from 160Solutions and HotBar.

There was also cross-domain malicious activity that I blocked.

I stand by my findings and they are repeatable.

Nonsense. 2 pix on the current page are hosted by cnomny.com. See
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/cnomy.com

Please quit harping on what needs to be done to reassume ownership of the
domain. That's old news.

And I would appreciate it if you didn't snip parts of my posts in your
original replies to them.

YW, Robear.

Until this gets sorted out, I recommend folks use the Wayback Machine:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/

All links still go to the same suspect page...

Actually, something weird has happened in the past 24 hours. Now, all I
get is a weird Robots.txt Retrieval Exclusion page.

YW, Robear.

I still cannot get Kelly's page.

It usually takes around 48 hours for the DNS record to propogate throughout
the internet.

All I got was a run of the mill registrar's holding page, although I do use
a HOSTS file to get rid of crap like that.

Thanks for the suggestion, did that, but I still get that same page with the note that the domain
has expired.
I do a lot of computer help and really liked Kelly's page.

Maybe clear the TIF in your Internet Explorer?
