Problems with my website

Post by RafTen »

Hi,

I have a big problem with my website and maybe somebody here would be able to help me out. It all started some time ago when Jörg (Metallifreak) told me that he visited my site and was attacked by a nasty virus/trojan. I was a bit suprised because I was visiting my site everyday and my antivirus softwere never warned me of any threats. The site was ok for some time but after that the virus has started to "consume" all the data from my website. I've tryed to delete the whole thing myself and upload everything again but it seems that infection has lasted. And now it totally consumed my website! I don't bother with uploading everything again and again becasue I think that it won't help very much. Has anyone here seen aything like this before? Maybe you can recommend me some good sfotwere? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in adanvece!

Cheers

WOW!That sounds awful man........ Have no experience with websites,but have used a PC for 10+ years and have had my fair share of virus/trojan problems.I have used so many different programs over the years and only use 2 now which i think are the best(in my opinion).Those 2 are AVG Internet Security and Malwarebytes Anti Malware. I had problems with Rootkits earlier this year,but the worse thing they did was re-direct my Google results to some random crappy websites.Hope you get this problem sorted out quickly.....

Open your html files with notepad and look at the end if there is some suspicion code. A friend of mine had similar problem and he found some code that was added to his html files not by him and when you try to open the web site the anti virus program pop-up with message for virus. After he removed this code, everything was OK again.
If you want zip the files and send them to me. I'll examine them.

I noticed that your site down Rafal, so now I know what is the reason. This thing really sucks, and hopefully you can get it back soon mate! I'd recommend the same as Ivo did, that might help. Try to look especially at your index.html or whatever it is called.

Hey Rafal, you don't have a backup of your website anywhere?.. your pc is most likely infected there are some nasty virus's that can ruin peoples websites or pc files, i use NOD32 myself most every single virus software is a shit that is out there,

AVAST is also very good Norton =shit, mcaffee = shit, all those knock off programs are all shit!

If you look around on the internet there is site copier programs that can move a entire website from your pc to another host, you first need to get your pc free and clear of spyware, trojans, & virus's if you have any questions feel free to ask.

ive visited your site before in the past when it was up and nothing popped up for me.
i use the latest version of kaspersky internet security 2010. so far the best one i have tried and i have tried every piece of sotware out there.
i also use malwarebytes anti malware as well and it does a great job.

you could also try an online scan and see if that finds anything and its free
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

if it was me i would 1st of all do a free online scan then a complete scan with whatever virus scanner you have installed.
then use an a spyware scanner like malwarebytes.
then do a registry clean with something like registry mechanic.

if all else fails zip your complete site and upload it to a filesharing site, (rapidshare - megaupload)
and ill do all the tests above for you at my end. then if it finds nothing then it has to be an infection of some sort on your pc.

you might also want to consider posting a log file of your machine by using this free software.

this sometimes shows things listed out of the ordinary and might help us in spotting something that might not be wanted.
