This .files attack was common too. We posted about it a while ago: http://blog.sucuri.net/2010/05/it-is-not-over-seo-spam-on-si...

btw your blogsite is very scammy looking. I got a message from my host with a link to your site, where you instructed to download and install a file...and I was 100% sure that it was just just a scam, where you sent out spam messages pretending to be hosts, with a link to the blog post where you were asking me to download malware. In fact I was in the process of contacting customer support of my host, when I noticed…

You lost me there. We never sent messages to anyone to download and install files. Can you forward the email to me (dd at sucuri.net)? *but I agree, we really need some improvements on our design.

what I meant was that I got a letter from my host telling me I got hacked(a week or so after I fixed everything)...and they linked to your site. But after hitting your site, I got the impression that it was just a scam site trying to get me to install some malware.

Oh, sorry about that. I misunderstood it. But it is nice to see hosting companies linking to us :) I am still looking for a designer to work on our blog/site.
