My website thats hosted by some company is infected with a virus. Everytime I or someone visits my site they get infected with a virus. I checked with the webhosting company to see if they have any solutions for html virus and how to get rid of it but unfortunately I couldn't find any info. My questions are : 1. How can someone infect my website with a virus (ie how is it done thru html) 2. How do I scan and disinfect the virus from my website, since I'm not hosting the site.

Here's the url to my website www.visokoletac.com however, I deleted most of the content therefore you may not able to detect any viruses at the moment. Since I'm planning to rebuild the website, using MS Frontpage 2000, how do I immunize the content against future attacks.
Thanks

I don't know how they attacked you in the first place, so I can't say how to prevent it. It sounds like it's probably a server issue where they hacked into the server your page is hosted on and added the virus code that way. If that's the case, the problem is with your hosting company and they need to fix the problem or you should switch to a different host.
