Hi.our website have been attacked by virus and we need to get it open again.
We would also like to find a person that can help us on regular basis with our website.
These are the instructions we have gotten.
Your website have been locked by Active 24 because it.s been compromised by an attack.
Likely cause is that you have an out-of date CMS installation, plugin or theme. Other causes could be that your computer is infected with virus or malware.
. Scan the computer which is used to connect to the server with an anti-virus / malware program.
. Change the password of MyAccount, FTP and SQL. These might be compromised. (Do this from a safe computer)
. Download all the files to an folder on a safe computer and run an antivirus program on that specific folder.
. When the files are downloaded you can delete the files from the server to ensure that visitors wont se the infected site.
. Clean the website code from malicious code.
. Upload the clean site.
. Update all add-ons and CMS software (Some older versions of common CMS installations like Joomla or Wordpress have security issues )
. Keep the CMS software and add-ons updated and check forums for news about your CMS security updates and warnings.
When this is done, unlock your site with removing the current .htaccess file, and in case you had an old one,
move the file RENAME_BACK_TO_OPEN_SITE.htaccess back.
