But - is it a linux server or a windows server? I'm thinking of that virus that attacked windows 2000 servers a few years ago and attached stuff at the bottom of each html page after the </html> tag.

I had my server hacked. A) it inherited flaws from a server my previous business partner had set. B) I was running a phpBB forum on there that had some serious holes in it. Found complete databases in my mysql with commands.

Pretty impossible for me to change host as I am the host and the guy who sysadmins it for me now is an absolute star. My former boss and one of the top blokes in the country on internet security and even designed and built firewalls.

New server, new installations and the phpBB is being chucked out.
