Re: What is an add on CGI ?

An add on CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a script that is added to your basic hosting set-up in order to provide additional features.

I'm assuming you receive this in the form of an email. To start with I would have a look at the headers of the email to see if it actually originates from where you think it does.

As it stands, the whole thing looks a little odd and may will be some kind of elaborate scam. Let us know what you find.

Glad you are sorted.

Looks like you could seriously do with a new host though.
