Hi,
I've encountered some security issues today with my site hosted in Power DNN.
My anti-virus claimed that there is a virus in my web site, when I looked into the FTP folder - there were php files
and some weird scripts.

Any of you guys who host a site in Power DNN have seen something abnormal today?

Thanks.

Hi-

We aren't having any systemic problems with our network relative to security.  Typically when someone notices files in an ftp directory that aren't supposed to be there, it is almost always because the ftp password got compromised. I am not certain about you specific case, but you might want to open up a ticket with our support team. 

Thanks.

AVG, but also tested with Avast which also warned about this.
The default.aspx changed to some suspicous script, just wanted to understand if any other
subscriber faced the same issue.

As John mentioned, typically this is due to an individual getting access to your FTP or to your setup in another way.  The only easy way to investigate this is to review the IIS and other server logs.  For this you will need to contact PowerDNN and have them help you identify the root cause, and more than likely restore your site to a state prior to the changes.
