I visited yesterday and Firefox showed me a warning that the site was redirecting to a compromised site after clicking the Laser Accessories link. After a refresh it didn't show it anymore. I wonder if the site has code to only intermittently redirect people in order to stay under the radar more.

Regardless, until Chuck has confirmed that his site is completely fixed I am going to avoid that site. He should probably just wipe the entire thing and start over.

Yup. That's what I had to do multiple times when using Zen-Cart.. such a POS.

If he had done the steps on this page How to secure your osCommerce 2.2 site. - osCommerce Support Forum then there would be much less likely chance the site would have been hacked.

An easier way to secure any site is to just 1. disable FTP access, 2. set htaccess files read only and 3. set every permission database as read only. Thats how I secure my sites :) Ofcourse that doesn't protect from lets say XSS attacks but unless you are using a badly coded search tool that should be a problem, and even if your site was vulnerable to XSS attacks unless there are other security holes too you should be safe.
