Sorry to be apain..I am a newbie and not very confident with a lot of PC stuff so need some expert help!
My website www.guymanning.com seems to have been hacked, as when it searched for from Google etc. tthe link takes the user to a shoes selling site!

I have looked at the remote server html in the index file and find no scripts etc. to redirect. I cannot find a .htaccess file in the root either (with hidden files visible)

When you type the url straight in to the address bar it seems to work fine only when you search for GUY MANNING and then click the site link does it go elsewhere

How do I cure this?
Thanks
Guy

I am afraid this is outside the purview of this forum. You need to ask someone that manages your website for assistance with your coding.

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.
