IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE VIRUS, PLEASE GO TO HTTP://WWW.XANGA.COM/JOHN. THANK YOU.
Here’s the virus writer, (name removed):
(me): someone blamed you for writing the xanga virus, though, on your comments…
(me): did you?
(him): well actually yeah, but it never d
id what people like joe_x say it did.
(me): what’d it do?
(me): that was one awesome piece of shit you wrote…i’m seeing it everywhere
(him): mostly, it just spread itself pointlessly. on occasion, i’d give a random xanga a ton of eprops, just to mess with their heads. then i made the mistake of doing that to godofphotoshop, and he posted about it, so i needed to get his password to delete that post. then all hell broke loose
(me): no shit all hell broke loose
(me): dude, this is godofphotoshop…and joe_x
(him): oh haha
EDIT> John wrote a full disclosure here, which also includes instructions on how to remove the virus. Thank you so much!

good job =)
you found the bastard who did that.
haha, what a dumbass.
what an asshole. and he laughs! pshh
man, this site is so popular… i just read the old post with all the updates about the virus, and then i come back and see this new post, and it’s already filled with comments…
will xanga find this out? like delete outsideforthenet
some people really need to get better hobbies… nice random use of “shit” to make you sound all “urban” as it were…
aw, you suck
haha sorry i just had to do that. everyone else did. have a great day! :]
dear god. xanga is just like high school.

you’re a stupid bastard.
thanks..
Hm, I sense an idea for your next comic strip.
props dude, that rocks, thanks!
~
w00t! thanks!
lol, thanks
you are my hero!
And why, if this guy is the perpetrator, have you ‘removed’ his name? That’s not exactly like ‘protecting the innocent’. You should blow his cover and help push him out of the community.
What if some people still have this virus…
This is very helpful! Thanks
Suggestion for next comic strip…
HANGMAN!!!
XOXOXO,
DARLING NIKI
thank you
lol.. but at least it’s fixed i guess..
ohh myy i saw that stupid virus thing on my xanga and it pissed me off! lol. yeah but is it like real? like a real one?
Your site is awesome. Thanks for the instructions on how to remove the virus!

Yay! good job! thanx!
Yeah man, thanks for helping out all of us, even though your the innocent civ here your a good person for just posting how to take it off. Thanks again.

Thanks, dude.

HEY DUDE, TELL THAT GUY THATS MESSING WITH PEOPLEs XANGA THAT HE CAN DO ME A FAVOR AND TELL HIM TO DESTROY MY ENEMIES XANGA. MESS AROUND WITH THIS XANGA. called justSTFU_no0b
ok thanks, i just hate that jerk. kill his xanga
Lol… just want to revoke my old comment and apologize… this guys’ legit it’s not his fault, just wanted to make sure things were said right…
oh well.
Damn this person must hate you or something. haha.
Well, Jay owned up to it and posted your entire convo. Apparently he’s also tracking mentions of the worm.
Oh, what a mess.
lmao
damnit, i was infected. thanks for giving me the heads up. you rock=) and happy belated birthday! hehe.
Well 1st of all~it really pissed me off, it took a bit to get past that little button to get into *Look & Feel* to remove it-but I thank you for telling me how.
2ND-allthough-no harm done-& this was just a little scheme to get eProps-does this person now have access to all of our private site info including passwords & such? Should we change this information?
3rd~does this person work for xanga~or is this person just some little braniac hacker with nothing better to do? & is this person going to be fined or banned from xanga to ensure this never will happen again?
4th~if you had nothing to do with this~how is it we all wound up here? How did you know everyone who had be infected with this script? How did you miraculously know who to come & rescue?
HMMM~what an incredible way to plug your cartoon that would be hmmm? No worries-i’m no longer angry-just annoyed more that someone managed to hack my private information.
I think we all owed something here for our troubles…..like a really cool script or SOMETHING. I personally really dig the color changing script you have here on your site. I’ve seen the script before but never saw it in action until now. It’s fabulous.
Anyhow-i’ve certainly wasted way too much of my valuable time on this nonsense now-i’m going back to building and tweeking a skin i’m working on. If you have any useful info or cool advice for my new skin it would be very much appreciated. anagamesx
yay for the awesomeness of jeff. oh how we do love you.
What virus?
glad to have good hackers like you to help us get rid of the bad hackers :]
thanks again!
I just read your bio&I noticed you said you read EVERY comment. So yay! Even if you have 56465132498798754 comments, you`ll read mine, right? Because mine is the best. It says:
Y0U RUlE!:D
I love your comments, I love the fact that you take the time to read EVERY0NE`S comment&I love your skill at HTML. Ha, you`re so coolx]. You`re so cool to even FiX the virus problem for us! Thanks a lot for the heads up. I almost caught the virus!;x.
Anyway, I commented on both your xangas, because you`re extra coolio. So g`bye!
Oops, I meant I love your comics*, lol.
Oh yeah, I fogot to ask. Are you a llama? Are you sure? Positive?..
Are you doublely sure?
dude. wtf is wrong wit ppl that they bother to even MAKE a xanga virus???? i should find him and bitch slap him to china.
Thanks for the tip, I had this virus and now i´ve removed it : )
thank you for the directions!
Thanks you for the warning.
but could u tell me how my site is infected?
so u befriended the virus writer?
tat’s sweet. but pls.. no more virus pls..
Heh, this is the first I’ve heard of it. Guess I’m not Xanga-obsessed yet.
wth?!?!? that guy had to have some kinda nerve. well anyway thanks for telling us about it!
I didn’t know I had it until I checked for it, but it didn’t bother me at all.
joe you’re my xanga hero =D
Thank you so much again!! Who wants some ‘dumb’ person, for lack of a better word, destroying all the hard work some people put into their Xangas? Not me! Gahh..
Thanks again~
hey all you joe_x fans, we need to write Jeff a theme song about how much we love him… lol
Got rid of my virus now. The Popup no longer shows. Thanks.
Thanks for getting this info out there. I had it and took care of it as well :>) Good work Sherlock!! lol.
::weepy eyes:: So, i think i got rid of the virus, but i also think i’ve had a casualty. because now i have no chatterbox. ::tear falls:: it was a good box, a loyal friend, and i’ll miss it always, but thus is the consequence of war . . . blogwar or otherwise. ::sigh:: is there any way to resurrect him . . . her . . . it?
Good work Jeff! Thanks a million!
I totally owe you head for making my xanga work again!
how stealthy of you to make him confess!
love your site.
Glad everything was cleared up.
he musta really didnt have any life…well its a good thing we have you *hugs*
we didnt like that virus not one bit..
damn. “dude, this is godofphotoshop…and joe_x” HAHAHAHA. that was hilarious.
.mE.
i totally missed all that about the virus since i was off white water rafting but thanks for the heads up. how on earth did you find out who was the person that made the virus???
what virus is this…? and nice job, btw
Yeah, YAY FOR YOU!! Thanks a bunch.
) And happy belated birthday lol. ;o) That was awesome that you got to talk to him hehe. You are so awesome, so keep rockin’!!

thank you sooo much for helping me out!! that virus was gettin on my nerves! im suscribing to your site!!
xanga drama. :sigh:
<3
I HAVE MY OWN FORM OF XANGA VIRUS AND I THINK IT’S CONTAGIOUS…. ADDICTIVE… AND TOTALLY LIFE THREATENING!
you show ‘em who’s boss joe
good job.. very smooth!
Holy shit, i never thought xanga would have avirus.. what the hell, i dont even nohow to get rid of it!!!
Hey thanks sooooo much for helping with da virus thing I owe u soooo much well propz and kool comics
so is that like an actual virus?
oh by the way..
love the comixx
OK I believe you~and I really appreciate you writing me so kindly. I have to admit I was half asleep and rather cranky when I wrote to you this morning. I apologize if I came off *Bitchy*. I have a really bad habit of speaking my mind in the wee hours of the morning without thinking first. LOL I can certainly understand your being busy these days…..I feel for you & hope like hell they figure out a way of nailing this guy permanantly. Luckily this was my first run in with any virus here. I appreciate your help~thank you. Nice to meet you BTW~and I totally dig your site & cartoon. I will fix your button on my site and take that message off! Peace~anag
yea..i didnt have it but i feel bad for those who did.
that dude is such a hobo.
doooooo wop!
P.S. does this assbag have a xanga or do you wish to reveal his IM name? Where did you have this conversation with him? I think many here would love to have a little *appreciation* conversation with him as well……hell~let him get bombarded. Take the heat off of you.
Yea… got the virus although I remember working on my layout that day and I was like… wtf what are those spaces and some chatterbox crap. So i deleted it only to get re-infected. Grrr.
that’s weird. i had the “virus” and it was gone by the time I got on today, but I still had to delete his little code thingy.
thanks
ok i’m confused…
what exactly did the virus do?
besides put a code on our xanga and send us here?
did sending us here actually have more effect than the original virus?
hmmm….
oh well.
i doubt you’ll respond to this, but thanks for reading it…
i’m going to quit writing now.
nice commics.
sry about my additude. I had a bad day yesterday. you really are a nice guy. well. plz forgive me. awsome site btw.
Haha, it’s funny how he didn’t even know that you were godofphotoshop too…
Well it’s nice of you to not include the guy’s name, because at least half of xanga’s active users infected by the code is thoroughly pissed off by him.
As always, you’re frickin’ awesome.
oh my, you really are too funny.
heyy.. just want to say thanks.. =DD really helped a lot.. and that bastard deserves to be punished.. o.O but ohwell.. w/e.. =P anyways.. thanks again.. =) g2g so byee
