I have a myspace resource site.. and have been told that it has a virus. People started complaining after I put up clicksor ads on it. But I was also told it could of been hacked into. I have tried removed all the clicksor codes but they are still showing up.. What should I be looking for in the code to find this virus? and could it be from the clicksor ads? The main php files are header.php, footer.php and index.php.. Really need your advice!!! Thanks. Kim
I have been reading a lot lately about certain ad networks that are loaded with adaware (virus) type crap.. So it very well could have been the ads that causing issues. When you look at the code, look for things like strings of encrypted code and such.. like a long string of garbled numbers. Also look for javascript inserts or includes, kind of look like like: <script language="javascript">Code and URL's and stuff in here</script> Some things using javascript may be good and are part of what makes the page, however sometimes they can hold junk stuff.. So make sure you know what the functions are doing inside any of those script tags, if you have them anywheres in the pages.. Boulder
Is there a certain program out there that can scan my code to tell me where it is? As I am just learning php and html?
Try looking into your index.php or index.html files at the bottom of the files and compare it with your original, if you notice any gibberish looking code delete it.
If the domain is hosted in a windows server, then request your host to run a trojan check on the files.
the site is www.candy-lyts.com.. I have downloaded all files onto my hard drive and scanned them and they coming back as good. Although I did remove all of the clicksor code from the index.php footer.php and header.php But if you go to the landing and click on christmas myspace layouts and hover over a link.. clicksor ads are there... I have removed the code from everywhere... Where would this code be...??? Kim
but I scanned all my files and there is nothing.. I have removed all the clicksor codes for ads but they are still showing up on some pages.. Here is one for example... http://candy-lyts.com/layout/Christm...ce-layout.html
You wont get any result with an antivirus software. An antivirus will detect virus software in your machine. If you get hacked, you don't have a virus, nor your site is infected A hacker could put some code in your site so your visitor get the virus, but a web site can't be "infected" You have to do what the other peoples here have told you. Just look very carefully in the code, trying to find something strange
I have actually looked at the code and can't find anything. Although I am very new to html and php.. Would it only be in the index.php, header.php and footer.php or could it be somewhere else? And what I did was actually scanned all my files.
i just looked at your site and i see no virus but i do get anoying popups unless thats what you are talking about.
Sorry Clicksor, but you guys have a horrible track record of allowing malware in your network, and here you see a confused and aggravated webmaster who thinks their website is infected with something when it's your fault. Just sad.
