Hello,
I've been using Refraction for a while on 3 of my websites and have not upgraded it for about a year.
Now it appears that 2 of my websites have been attacked/corrupted:
www.sysmicfilms.com
www.locared.com
I have access to the main page, but as soon as I click anyywhere on the site it sends me to a pills website...
My question is whether upgrading the template to the newer version would fix my problem? Is it possible to clean up a website that has been 'attacked' like this? Are we talking fixing a few lines of code in the root files to change or thousands of file to correct?
Thanks,
Arnaud

Thanks for your article, that helped a lot and I was able to pull off the log file for the website locared (see below). But I did not find much in there that I could make sense of with my limited experience.
And of course I did not make any recent backup of the websites... So I backed up the corrupt one and I would rather find a way to clean it up than make a full reinstall...
If anybody would mind having a look at the log file and tell me if they see any hope of fixing the site, I would be willing to give some paypal if this is feasable in a couple of hours or so (can't afford much). the template I used is refraction and I was at version 1.5.11 when the websites were hacked.
Thanks for any help.
Here is a link to the raw log file for locared.com:
