My son (15) looked at several scripts and found errors in them. He had never seen vBulletin before but caught on quickly.

I then was able to access the "upgrade" window, but it appeared with error lines showing through and Norton's warning that the Blackhole Toolkit was attempting to infest my computer.

I speculate that the hacking of the website itself was partially successful. The goal being to infect everyone who visited. Instead, whatever script they ran caused the site to crash, infecting no one.

He re-uploaded the 4.14 files, fixed a few things that remained problematic.

It has been stable for about two hours. My thanks to all for their input.

In return for his assistance, I ordered my son the Apple Developer's package. He has recently been working in xCode. Nonetheless, his shoes are still in the middle of the floor.

Again, my many thanks.
