To be fully honest Keith, I do own a web hosting company and it is something that we do, but I'm afraid that I really don't have the time at the moment to take on another client as they're always more hassle than they pay ... especially the ones with baseball bats It just ends up being a busman's holiday in the end.

Advice to friends is always free though, so if you want advice on anything that you've found then feel free to drop me a line.

No worries. It's probably a new security hole that has been exploited. Once a fix is found, they will patch the server and restore a previous copy of the site so you shouldn't need to do much.

It just depends if it was an old (and known) security hole that was exploited - it shows that they have a slack policy on updates, or a good policy but bad implementation!

Nothing like exploiting an old (and known) hole............and your right, probably a slack policy..allways spoils the implementation!
