Server hacked, what service should I use to avoid? Sitelock? Verisign? - GoFuckYourself.com

Looks like my mail server was hacked over the weekend. Does anyone know of a good third party service to use to prevent this in the future?

Hostgator live support auto redirected me to sitelock.com. I guess the remove and scan for malware. Are there any better solutions? They want $180/month, cost isn't that the biggest deal but want one that will offer good protection.

Also they were using one of my domains for spoofing, does anyone know if the domain could possibly get black listed by google due to this?

There is no software to keep a server secure, it's an ongoing process.

I would hire a webmaster to check everything out, there is monthly services.

Or mainly, make sure any scripts are updated and any files you are not using removed.

99% of hacks are from php scripts not updated.
