I think it is time to change hosts... It could be me but I highly doubt it, I am a very small fish and have lots of antivirus in place. I uploaded the index page 20 days ago, it was fine 4 days ago, sometime over the last 3-4 days it got hacked. Considering my last connection to FTP was 20 days ago I have to believe it is the host... My host seems very laid back about it, considering their could be a security issue you would think they would look a little deeper.. I am signing up with Cyberwurx as they have offered to double any bandwidth...

In your case it very well may be the host. I know Servage is extremely unsecure with their FTP setup. Logging into FTP you are able to go up a directory and view files of other users on that machine. I don't know if it is possible to write to files, but if for some reason you could, these guys could infect ever index file on a virtual server in a hurry. Pretty scary.
