Now that I have went through all of the steps to erradicate my viruses today, I am left with this one final warning on my ACP panel


1 of the required files and directories do not have proper CHMOD settings. Please change the CHMOD settings to the ones specified with the file below. For more information on CHMODing, see the MyBB Wiki.

Specifically, it is wanting me to change the config file to 777 of which I am reluctant to do unless I hear it from someone here.

These files/directories need to be writable to store data and files.

hmm, config.php does not need to be 777, only 644.

It depends on the environment...
