Trojan attack

Post by MarkSmith65 »

IMG_0143.jpg
Hi

I run a website at http://www.theowl.com and this week customers using Avast security software have started reported a trojan (iframe-bg[trj]. A screen shot is attached.

I have gone through the site and searched for extra code and cannot find any hidden in index.php etc.

Does anyone have any thoughts...? The hosting company is refusing to help saying it is my issue.

Thanks

Is it only with Avast? Couple of days ago they gave out a wrong update containing a couple of false positives. It should be solved already:

Otherwise, do you have a recent backup you can restore?

Hi, yes it only is with Avast... this might well be the issue as neither me nor the hoster can find an issue with the site.

Thanks for responding.

F-secure 2011 also has been informing few weeks this site to be potentially dangerous and block access. Just to let you know if you didn't already.

Which site? cmsmadesimple.org?

Would it be possible to post the message F-secure gives?

Google results already highlight the problem pages, according to f-secure.
Sorry for Finnish language :)
