  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.
