Sorry for being a little off-topic, but I think you gave just about enough<br>
information. It is very difficult to detect these malicious websites without<br>
an anti-malware app, and it is advertised for Linux that there is no need<br>
for this type of software, because Linux/Kubuntu doesn't get viruses. I have<br>
accidentally visited several malicious websites on Windows 7, so that is the<br>
main reason I decided to stick with Ubuntu.

Generally, you would want to do this on the server, hosting the website, by monitoring the server logs and the modifications to the files of the website.</div>

This is how can spread to other computers. This would be visible in the FTP logs. I suggest that you also monitor your files for changes. The easiest way to do this, is run a cron that makes a recursive directory listing every hour, compare it with the listing from the previous hour, and e-mail you if there are differences.</div>
