I have a dedicated server hosted at 1and1.com. It currently hosts 3 domains plus some several subdomains with websites corresponding to the domains & subdomains. The server is managed with Plesk. The Plesk email system is used for my business email. Last week, the server was compromised by somebody who has been continuously sending SPAM from all 3 domains on this server. I cannot use my own email accounts now because of this unauthorized and illegal activity. I need somebody who knows how to stop the current spamming, restore my unrestricted use of my own email on these domains, close whatever hole is in this server's security that allowed this hack in the first place, and secure the server against future attacks.

Hello Sir, This is my experience that if one infected file exists on your server then it will infect your server again and again. So I need to check each file and folder manually. Sir,I never use any software or any programming script or any scanner to find out malicious files or script on server. Because they can never give you 100% accuracy. But I will provide you 100% accuracy because I go through whole server manually and check each file and folder manually. I will also check your SQL file because I have found malicious script or suspicious script in SQL file many times. Thanks
