 * Sounds like your hosting partners machine has been rooted. If so, then nothing
   you can do will stop this. Have them move you to another machine. It is a pain,
   but will save you lots of heart ache in the long run.

 * Oh yeah, a G2 install is necessary also. 🙂

 * I found it really strange also. My Gallery install is in /g2/, the way I finally
   got it to work was a combination of the first 3 fields:
 * Relative Gallery2 Path: (blank)
 * Embed Gallery2 Page Name: ../wp-gallery2.php
 * Path from web document root: /g2/

 * Also, are you using phpGedView? The old version of phpGedView allows hackers 
   to access EVERYTHING on your server. Upgrade or remove it until the 4.01 version
   comes out. That was what got me. They messed up my Joomla install, so I decided
   to go to WP, and then they started messing with WP. I finally figured out it 
   wasnt Joomla or WP, but phpGedView. Good luck, it drove me nuts for weeks!

 * Thanks, I want to keep them all in the plugin folder. But that raises the other
   part of my question:
 * How can I reference files in the plugin directory, when people can move the directory
   anywhere, or copy the files directly into the /plugins dir?
