   My server recently was attacked by the Gumblar Virus. Since then, I have had several episodes where the home page of a site loads, but clicking onto other pages or posts produces a 404 error. The problem is resolved by logging into the site and re-publishing them, however a few hours later the problem occurs again. I don't know for sure if this is related to Gumblar - it could be coincidental, but something is hammering away at the site.

   Most grateful for any advice.

   Possibly related: I seem to be getting implants of htaccess files in the main directories of various sites, and the content is:
   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   Does this make sense?
