    the title says it all. I did some searching and found nothing about this one, on your site. 9 out of 14 websites that I created and host was hacked. 13 of the sites are on 2 different hosting accounts. the 14th site was on a 3rd hosting account by it self. Its seems to be safe. but I have trashed the other 13 sites just to be safe. my hostin company is powweb.com. My sites have been down now for 5 days. I have changed usernames and passwords everyday, sometimes twice. Im using 12 digit passwords. I thinking about moving to bluehost.com. I use Joomla to create my sites. What else can I do to prevent this from happening again?

    Problems like this are really more of a vulnerability issue and not truly malware. How people write their website code, how old/unupdated the software they write it with, and how secure the servers that host it are really the areas to look at. Issues here are commonly referred to as code injection ( see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_injection ) The things we do in this forum are not going to find problems in your code. None of these malware scanners will since they are not design for this purpose.

    You are going to need to have a very good webpage developer check the code for security issues and you need to verify that all software being used has been updated to include all security patches. In addition, you need to make sure that the server hosting the website also has been fully updated.

    Also since you stated it has been previously hacked, you should attempt to find out how it was hacked last time so you can verify that they security issues have been resolved.

    If they are on hosting accounts run by other companies then firewall-type security is their concern and I suggest you get them involved.
