    the specific malware that was being picked up by Kaspersky (on my machine and others who visit here), was this one:

    flep studio.org

    without a space between the "p" and "s" above.

    There was one other suspect malware link, but I do not have it in front of me at the moment. I will post it here later so you can check on it as well.

    The other one was koks in.net

    Again, remove the space.

    run a scan with malwarebytes and also hitman pro.

    If you need to, use another computer to download the executable and put it onto a USB drive and plug that into your home computer and install from there.

    So have you changed your password information for your host and all that jazz? Someone either figured out your password or an admin password so they could make the change to the footer on your file on the web server.

    oh yeah. Did that first thing. FTP, database, etc ... changed all those passwords.

    But that isn't the issue. I'm about 99.9% sure the issue is host-related. I've had a forensics IT guy working with me for several months on some other issues that weren't related to this recent event.

    Well that's what happens when you use "password" or "letmein" to secure your admin accounts.

    Never pay, plenty of free stuff that works great.

    One of these below:
    Avast
    AVG
    Avira
    Microsoft Security Essentials or whatever they call it.

    Both are free but you have to manually run a scan.
    Malwarebytes
    SuperAntiSpyware

    Norton/Symantec is a resource hog and should be drug out in the street and shot.

    I used to use Avast which is free for home use, but now I just use Microsoft Security Essentials. Never had a virus on my personal PC. My work laptop had Symantec Corporate on it and I had to get it reformatted cause it got something on it while I was out of town once.

    I've been surprisingly happy with MSFT Security Essentials. Of course the best anti-virus is common sense

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Kaspersky, and I still use Spybody Search & Destroy. All are free, and I don't remember every having any issues.
