   Anyone out there? Am desperate!

   The .htaccess file (644 permissions) is being rewritten daily. A blank line is added at the top, and a space and a lower case s at the base.

   4 days ago, the host (HostRocket) first said there were attempts to access the server from IPs in California, which they blocked. And said to make sure everything was up-to-date.
   3 days ago they said just keep manually removing the changes.
   2 days ago: no advice
   Yesterday: they said that there was an old installation of Coppermine Image Gallery, which may have caused a security hole- we removed that.

   This morning, the .htaccess was altered again.

   What can be causing this, and what can I do? Do I need to change hosts? Set up another installation & export?

   PLEASE someone give me some guidance.

   The only thing I can think of:

   If that Coppermine was indeed a security breach, then just removing it might not have closed the possible backdoor.
   Perhaps trying 444 to see if that helps (if that doesn't break the site immediately).
