Title: RE: hack or virus?
This is the result of a hole that was discussed last year, MS00-078. And two years ago by Sun #00191. You could fix it by deleting the files, but if the patch isn't applied, you will find the paged replaced again within a few hours.
 
They need patch the hole that's been discussed in just about every forum for the last few months. It's being called the file less virus trend. And since this exists, there are most likely other breaches as well which allows execution on the server itself. It's called a few things, but SadMind was the most popular reference to it. On that machine, all default locations that have default/index asp and htm have been replaced with this new page.
 
There is another variant going around for a few weeks now that changes the county from USA to another one. The files have to be deleted/restored from a backup. And the breach files need to be deleted.
 
Here's some info on it:

By the way, one thing that we noticed is the amount of Proxy servers that have been affected by this. Seems a ton of people went out and patched their Web servers and forgot all about their other machines that use IIS.

That would be a hack. They replace the Default/index.htm files with this. Just need to lock down IIS a bit more....

We have someone that came to us about hosting a site for them.  When we went
to look at their site, before we moved it over to us, we found it wasn't
what they had put on their site.
http://www.e-z-learning.com is the site.  Is this a hack or a virus?   I
have seen this before on someone's site that wanted us to host for them, but
I thought it was someone playing games at the time.
