 * I have Firewall2 installed on all of my sites and it has served me very very 
   well!
 * I recently installed it on a client’s website after that site got hacked. I did
   a clean install of WordPress and then reconnected the database which was clean.
 * The site was going well for a while and then about two weeks later it was hacked
   once again (eval base 64 crap, creating .htaccess files with redirects in every
   directory etc).
 * But this time we received no warning that the site was being hacked. The only
   difference between this site and my others has been that it’s on a Windows Server.
   There have been several weird issues that have come up with an installation of
   WordPress on a Windows Server, so I am wondering if there’s a possibility that
   it’s not compatible for my client’s site?
 * I currently have the entire site read only, which is a pain but I need to protect
   the content while I find a suitable solution. I thought Firewall2 was it, but
   I am wondering now if there’s an issue between how Windows servers work and Firewall2?
