Just downloaded and installed avast at my son’s recommendation, first run it showed the index.htm file of my personnel website www.hipighost.com that I created myself was infected, I moved the file to the vault and downloaded the file from my web server with ftp & avast blocked the file after it downloaded. Now I can see how a websites index file might get hacked & infected on line but the copy it showed infected on my computer was created by me using MS front page and had never been on line so how did some virus infect the index.htm on my website and the copy backed up on my computer too?
