Re: Forum Infected by Virus - A trojan on My Board
I have seen things like this before. The virus has probably infected the entire server and not just your web site. That may be why it has returned. The hacker may have root access to the server.
The first thing to do is to report it to the hosting company. They need to check the security for your site and their server.
1. Make sure that permissions are set correctly for your web site scripts.
2. Change your access passwords (FTP,cPanel, root) and make sure they are very secure passwords. Do not use dictionary words for your passwords.
3. If you are using open source software or something you purchased, make sure the version is current and check their forums to see if others are having the same problem.
4. If it keeps coming back or the hosting company is not cooperative, find a new hosting company.
