Even after changing the password and deleting bogus files, within a day, the same files and code is appearing on our site causing bogus promotions of pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, the same has happened with one of our affiliates, FFL Vrindavan. Apparently these attacks are becoming common place with small businesses and non-profit sites and are not noticed until one does a search from Google. The site appears normal, but lurking underneath in the code are redirects and ads.

Please do what you can to ask around. We are not able to pay the expensive prices that are usually requested by security companies, so we are relying on you, our friend, to ask around to see if someone can do this pro bono or at a very reasonable price for FFL.
