I recently created a website on how to save money at home by reducing
the amount of energy and water used up. Many tips on how to save money
in each room at your house, many tips also have the amount of money
saved in a year.

I wanted to have an impact on people and change the way people felt
about using energy. The less we use energy the less greenhouse gases
are emitted.

Actually, it's common and should be obvious -

Before you link with spam such as this - “An analysis by Google found that 10% of all web pages are equipped to secretly download spyware and other malicious code on user’s computers. These downloads can steal login and password information, install unwanted bookmarks and toolbars, and even damage operating systems.”

I'm sorry mates my bad. I was installing a php file so that I could
use Digitalpoints Co-op Advertising network. It screwed up and I just
realized it was making people download some stuff. It's corrected now.
I have no idea why it did that, but I removed all the files and fixed
the problem.

Again sorry.

PHP is probably not a very good attack vector, since probably 0.0001% of
Windows users have gone to the trouble of installing a PHP interpreter.

It's much more likely to be a configuration error on the web server,
where it's spitting out PHP source code instead of interpreting it
on the server side like it's supposed to.
