You guys are great.  I am really glad I joined this group.  It was sincerely
a great resource.
Well, I finally got the green light and Google has said my site is clean ;)

"Status of the latest badware review for this site: A review for this site
has finished. The site was found clean. The badware warnings from web search
are being removed. Please note that it can take some time for this change to
propagate."

I guess the domain may have been changed, especially since the file was
writable for who knows how long.

Anyways, I have taken great measure to ensure this won't happen again.
 Changed ftp passwords, scanned my PC, updated my Linux box with all
updates, and went through all directories to make sure they didn't have any
777 permissions.  If anyone has any recommendations or quick ways that help
do a security scan on a linux box, that would be awesome.

Again, THANK YOU all
steve
