And replace it with the above "locked" code. Then go ahead and try to

Protect Yourself From Website Hijackers
How to find out if your site is being hijacked:
1-Go to www.google.com
2-Choose a particular text phrase or sentence from the body of your website.
3-Paste it into the "search" field.
4-If any websites with that exact text appear, it is possible that they have taken material from your site.
5-Visit the website(s) to confirm this.
6-If you find that the above is in fact true, contact them and explain that you have found material on their website that you originally produced.
7-To prove this, visit www.archive.org, and enter your website address in the search field. Results they have in their database show the date in which it was created.
8-Inform them of this fact and ask them to remove that material from their website.
9.www.samspade.org can provide you with the websites "Internet Service Provider" or ISP. From this you can contact them by visiting
www.arin.net/whois/index.html
10.Explain the situation to them, providing a link to the URL that will take them to your original archive at www.archive.org
Christopher Berry of The Host Group Inc. remembers the first time it happened: "I was kind of flattered. To think that someone else viewed TheHostGroup.com and thought that it was worth stealing was definitely flattering. However, it didn't change the fact that someone had stolen my website."
Website hijacking can happen when:
1. Someone views the source code of your website.
2. They may use "spam-bots" to collect e-mail addresses embedded into the source code of your website.
3. View your source code to tamper with your PayPal icon, making it appear that a payment was made.
If your email address is embedded in the html of any of your website pages, it is easy for "Spam-bot" to find it. See "Free Help" to hide your email address in the body of your website, displaying only "Contact us".
Just like software or IC Chip manufacturers spend vasts amounts of money developing state-of-the-art materials, only to have another nation clone them, so the same problem exists with websites. One may spend hundreds of dollars to develop his site, only to have someone else access the source code, copy and paste it, and make changes in personal information.
Many website owners use a "java script" code to prevent visitors from "right-clicking" on a text to "copy and paste" it. Although someone can still use the Internet Explorer to copy and paste, the above technique at least discourages the average surfer from doing so. Spam-bots find e-mail addresses without this, they see the "@" character as they crawl the web, then copy the text.
HTML "encryption" has been one solution to prevent website hijacking. One such source is found on www.encryptionz.com.
Some Internet fraud schemes also involve identity theft - the wrongful obtaining and using of someone else's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.
In one federal prosecution, the defendants allegedly obtained the names and Social Security numbers of U.S. military officers from a Web site, then used more than 100 of those names and numbers to apply via the Internet for credit cards with a Delaware bank.
In another federal prosecution, the defendant allegedly obtained personal data from a federal agency's Web site, then used the personal data to submit 14 car loan applications online to a Florida bank.

lt seems that car thieves have found yet another way to steal your car or truck without any effort at all. The car thieves peer through the windshield of your car or truck, write down the VIN # from the label on the dash, go to the local car dealership and request a duplicate key based on the VIN #. My friend didn’t believe this e-mail, so she called Chrysler-Dodge and pretended she had lost her keys. They told her to just bring in the VIN #, and they would cut her one on the spot, and she could order the keyless device if she wanted. The Car Dealer’s Parts Department will make a duplicate key from the VIN #, and collect payment from the thief who will return to your car. He doesn’t have to break in, do any damage to the vehicle, or draw attention to himself. All he has to do is walk up to your car, insert the key and off he goes to a local Chop Shop with your vehicle. You don’t believe it? It IS that easy. To avoid this from happening to you, simply put some tape (electrical tape, duct tape or medical tape) across the VIN Metal Label located on the dash board. By law, you cannot remove the VIN, but you can cover it so it can’t be viewed through the windshield by a car thief.
I urge you to forward this to your friends before some other car thief steals another car or truck. I slipped a 3 x 5 card over the VIN NUMBER.
6-Things you need to know!
A-“Copying and pasting”, URL addresses, etc.
B-Tampering with forms
By Caryn Dolley
Banks are warning clients who receive Internet "proof of payment" forms from First National Bank clients to physically check whether a deposit has been made, because a glitch in FNB's online banking software allows these forms to be altered by account holders.
And the bank doesn't know how long it will take to sort out the problem.
It has seemingly occurred because FNB opted for a printable document file (pdf) format for its downloadable "proof of payment" forms. These can be imported into Adobe Acrobat and the contents manipulated before being sent on to the recipient of the Internet transfer.
