---- 10,000 Sites Are Unwitting Hosts of Malicious Software

The report seems vague to me. I did not see any information that helps webmasters check thier site..
No solutions, hints, or what to look for, just be scared unless you own updated anti-virus software....

The report is not vague. It is just public news.
For the security of your webservers, you shouldn't depend solely on BBC-news. There is other IT security related information worth checking, too.

This one seems to be just an IFRAMEd pointer to a 'bad' web server hosting an MPACK exploit tool.
Short story at SANS with more pointers:
[isc.sans.org...]
[blog.trendmicro.com...]
[websense.com...]

So the solution/hint is to check your own page sources if someone planted an IFRAME into them that shouldn't belong there ...

Kind regards,
R.
