oh dear god i just killed the company web site!

Storm_rages

ok we were getting complaints from customers about a virus, so i down loaded everything and did a virus scan and sure enough there was a virus on the index.php file (actually still have not fixed it!!) cause the only thing the virus scan seems to do is delete the file and then the web site won't work.. but to make matters even worse it won't up load the file again (i'm not sure if its cause it still has a virus or if i have totally killed it !!!!!!!!)

Hope its ok to post it here!!

thanks!!

A virus in the index.php file? What did the AV call it?

What error did you get when you tried to reupload?

subway

do you not have an IT dept or web administrator for this?

Storm_rages

the virus is j/s/Psyme.mz


thats the error when it won't upload

transferred 0 bytes in < 0.001 seconds, 0.000 bps ( 0.000 Bps), transfer failed.
Transfer request completed with status: Failed, 1 SubItem(s) failed

Storm_rages

Nope, no IT dept or web administrator (some idiot left me in charge!!)
We are only a little company!!

FRM

Did you get my PM Storm?

Storm_rages

Storm_rages

Does your site pull any Javascripts from other websites?
Have you examined your own Javascripts and server logs to make sure that nobody has injected code into your scripts that shouldn't be there?
Is your script embedded in the index.php page itself?

Storm_rages

Blank look!!
ok maybe should have mentioned that i did not set up the web site..(that person is gone!)
but i do upload details to it and it looks like a virus got uploaded from my computer to the web site..
Its been sugested that i open the php file in notebook but it won't let me saying access is denied... i can't email it to anyone and i can't upload it.. dho.. running out of ideas!!

Storm_rages

ok here is what we did...
We got rid of the anti-virus, opened in note book and took out the line of java (it was easy to spot in the end) deleted the line and then uploaded it!!
thanks for the offers of help!!

Next thing I would do is look at the access people have to your server. It got there somehow, and thats a hole that needs to be closed.

Storm_rages

fair point.. that and maybe have a back up some where

Does the transfer fail because the old file is still on the server?
