Are you the hosting provider?

If so, you’ll have to scan the entire server for infectious files. Check all .php files for a string that contains:

eval(base64_decode( then a long string of characters.

If you’re not the hosting provider, then you should contact them immediately and have them scan the entire server for the above string.

Here is some further reading on this:

Looks like most of the pages have been deleted, the only thing I can still see is the 404 page being returned is hacked with some obfuscated javascript.

Any suggestions in finding/fixing it ? We are not web developers or a hosting provider, we actually specialize in search engine optimisation, but with the whole harming your site message on Google, we can’t really do anything with regards to optimisation.

Do you have the entire website downloaded to your computer?

You’ll really need that in order to clean all the files and check them for backdoors.

If so, you can use a free product like grepWin to search for malicious strings and remove them. However, you have to have the exact string first.

If you need outside assistance, please contact me off-list at the email below.

Yes I have ftp access, so I can download the entire site. We are trying to do them a favour so I’m trying what I can to help out. As said earlier, this is not our main line of business, so the whole thing is rather confusing.

Download the entire site to your computer.

Download grepWin (http://code.google.com/p/grepwin/downloads/list)

Install it.

Then in grepWin use this as your regex search string:

<script language=javascript><!--\s*\(function\(OR5n\)\{var dvk=.*?eval\(uXp\)\}\)\(\/\.\/g\);\s*--><\/script><script language=javascript><!--\s*\(function\(CTuK\).*?\s*--><\/script>

Set your “Search in” to where you’ve downloaded the website to. Click on “Regex search” and set the following:

Search case-sensitive (unchecked)
Dot matches newline (checked)
Create backup files (checked)
Treat files as UTF8 (unchecked)
Limit search:
All sizes (selected)
Include system items (checked)
Include hidden items (checked)
Include subfolders (checked)

Then first time through, just hit Search. Then look at the files in the Search results at the bottom of grepWin.

When you’re ready, hit Replace. Any files listed in the bottom Search results are now clean of that infection. Please keep in mind that this process can only remove one infection at a time. The above search string will only remove the infectious code found in your “Page not found” response page and any other pages that have that same exact malscript.

Then you’re ready to upload those clean files to the website.

If you have questions or updates, please post back here.

Thank you so much for the assistance. So far so good, looks like all the code is replaced now, got the site verified by Google, and submitted for review, will give feedback as soon as they reply.

Gentleman, you are all legends, all is fixed now and Google is happy again. Thank you very, very much.

Followed your instructions to the letter Thomas, and that did the trick.
