[quote author="skunkbad" date="1273460845"]What is interesting is that I have had one of the FTP viruses on my network, and those viruses were looking for index files. Since you didn't have a virus, I know that's not your issue, but changing from index.php to front.php could make a difference if you did.[/quote]

You're absolutely right. Our customers who had this virus had these popular index files infected: index.* default.* and main.*

Thanks Guys, after investigation, my host company said, some guy was spamming my site for more than 90 seconds and they decided to shutdown my site.

This is something we have to do also from time to time if we notice high mailing levels(usually spam). But ofcourse we try to get hold of the site owner/admin after closing site temporarily. Thats not cool if they didnt contact you about the matter..
