For example on 6/6/2011, I downloaded files under the heading, system. By the time I last wrote to you all of the linked images had been replaced by the virus. You have changed all the urls, I cannot provide them to you.
The virus creates an image consisting of a putative advertisment (with photographs of people, my website does not contain photographs of people)for a website identifying itself as Mayaglyphs.net
This image is clearly functioning as the type of virus which progressively replaces meaningful content with itself.
Who do I report this viral attack to, besides yourself?

Here's a capture taken 0 minutes ago from the live web that will become part of the permanent archive in the next few months."
if so that means we do not have it and the page you are looking at is what is live on the web for that url.

What exactly is livesite's relation to the archive? When I visited one old URL specified in a sitemap (http://evaotaku.tripod.com/sitemap.xml - probably why it wasn't archived a decade ago), I got the messsage, which seems to imply that the URL has been captured and stored in the IA subject to the usual embargo period; screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/4tsnA.png
But when I go to a *new* URL, a blog post by Charles Stross that just went up and so could not possibly be available in the archive yet, I see no header or message of any kind, just the blog post itself: http://liveweb.archive.org/http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2011/07/yes-but-what-are-your-credenti.html
So, I'm confused. Is the message honest and the Stross post is being discriminated against for some reason I cannot see? Or is the message random, and accessing through the livesite has nothing to do with getting archived or not?
