 * Hello Forum,
 * in the last weeks there were several “attacks” or something on my WP-Installation.
   
   Users reportet that if they visit my website, their kaspersky find a virus. I
   watched the code and there was a javascript from some russian spam website… i
   searched for the code in my wp-files and found it in the root/index.php (CHMOD
   644) I deleted it and everything was okay but it happened again. I allready installed
   Plugins like wp-security. What can i do do prevent bad people from putting bad
   code into my website?!
 * Thanks a lot for help
