I'm not sure how this website works, but the root infection might actually be in the code that generates and updates the pages your browser receives. Removing the bad script from the output pages might not fix the problem, if it gets added again then next time the page refreshes.

So far, this is the status of the pages I'm aware of:

Main - not infected
Forums - infected
Prog Rock Guides - infected
Log In - not infected
Prog Radios - not infected
Prog Links - not infected
FAQ - infected
About Us - not infected

The bad script occurs multiple times on some of these pages, not just once.

Apparently PA uses Web Wiz Forums software, version 11.01 (released 10 Sep 2014). The latest version is 12.05 (released 18 Jan 2022). I did a search for Web Wiz vulnerabilities, and found that many versions, beginning with v6.34 and extending thru v10.03, were identified as having vulnerability to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. That's a lot of versions for which they never fixed the problem, and it still might be present in v11.01.

PA is well behind in its version of the forum software but I don't suppose it's going to get upgraded any time soon since M@x seems to have abandoned it. I'm thinking PA is dying a slow death now, at some point the forum software will stop working (it's probably out of support now).
