My server's been hacked EMERGENCY
First time posting so bear with me please!
My friend's site has been hacked and the .htaccess file (which I really know nothing about) has been injected with a malicious redirect that forces search engines to the see the site as a "harmful website." If you look at the .htaccess file you can see it's Russian or at least ends in .ru. Seeing as I know very little about this stuff, I simply tried to restore the good .htaccess file back with his host. This doesn't work as the virus just recreates the infected .htaccess file.
When I searched through the rest of his directories, I can see the same bad .htaccess file in most of the folders.
I can't seem to help him get rid of this virus.
