I have a site that is using EE v1.73 that was victim of a major malware attack.  Its finally being cleaned out by a 3rd party company.  Their job is almost done but they came back and told me that many of the default.php files were overwritten, so I need to re upload them.  When I went back to my source files on my computer I do not see those default.php files just index.html.

Am I missing something?  is it only created once installed on the server?  is there anyway to then reinstall just those files without reinstalling the entire CMS? 

anything else I should do at the same time to make sure this does not happen again?

thanks

It’s a great sorrow for everyone when we have to faced a dangerous movement of viruses,spywares,worms and trojan horses in our site.But the answer you get from google webmasters forum and check the link : http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=163633

Hope you will get solutions from this.

Yes, thank you for your concern.  I agree, its very frustrating.  at this point I am more concerned about the default.php files.  I am going to reload/upgrade the version of EE hopefully that will reinstate the php files in question.

is that a correct assumption?
