Alright. My clients site has been shut down because ‘there is bad PHP code running.’

They say that multiple instances of php-cgi.exe are being created, which eats up the servers resources. Have any of you seen something like this, or could know what because this? I’ve checked the coding for the whole site over and over, and nothing catches my attention.

Thanks
