			<description><![CDATA[<p>thanks for the inputs guys so far its quite now.. but the slow cs response made me switch to another hosting, that was an eyeopener for me..</p><p>i was infected with trojan win32.arsm i think its a diff one, google search yielded very little info regarding this.. my proquota.exe was infected which wasnt seen by avira but caught by kaspersky online scanner. deleted the file and took a new exe from different computer, i guess this will work for now until i do a clean format.</p><p>Also microsoft malicous removal tool didnt saw it.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Well, that page suggests that the issue is a virus on your computer which is using the passwords you save and modifying your website. So, if that&#039;s the case, the solution is to change your passwords and remove the virus from your computer. <img src="http://fluxbb.org/forums/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /></p><p>However, defacement of only index files suggests that it was not a virus, which would instead target any files it could.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>How do you know the &quot;virus&quot; was only on your site? My assumption on a shared host would be that it was part of a mass defacement of index files (plenty of backdoor scripts have that functionality)</p><p>If you&#039;re convinced the problem was FluxBB, look for files that shouldn&#039;t be there (especially PHP files). If the problem is with FluxBB, you&#039;ll find a backdoor script somewhere that allowed someone to do this.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I never said PHP scripts. I merely said scripts. There will be a damned sight more running on that server than merely your forum.</p><p>As to what, specifically, they are altering, that is for you to tell us. It&#039;s your host and we ain&#039;t psychic, hence only you know the answer to that. Are they altering the DB itself? Are they altering the flatfiles? What is in your server logs? There are no known exploits in Flux, so you would most likely be better off discussing this matter directly with your host and seeing what they say.</p>]]></description>
