Malware attack

Can anyone give any advice on stopping Malware attacks?

Is it something the hosting company should take care of?

A good hosting company should be able to take care of that.

Yup, but they should be able to help you anyway. I know my host would.

Could you explain what you mean by script issue?

I had a virus on my site many years ago, it was actually on the shared hosting and would spread to every site there. My hosting company had to deal with it.

Unfortunately they didn't have recent backups, so suddenly I got moved back in time 6 months. Just lucky I'd taken my own backups a week before

Sadly, I do not know to what scripts you refer, or what is CMS.

I do have our whole site backed up and am spending a wasted day uploading alll our host galleries as it was those that were attacked.

It is very depressing the slippery pole managing a paysite is, our hard drive crashed two months ago, have been hacked twice etc...
