Thanks for the helpful suggestions and several that initially alerted 
me.  The host is ace.net and they have taken down the site (shortly 
after I sent my warning to this list).  I have a simplified front 
page up, now.  No links are present until I clear and restore the 
objects of the links.

I've had a couple suggestions of on-line sw that could remove the 
hacker, but that would require the website to stay active.  I'm 
pretty sure my host will not want an outside site accessing their 
internal files with a program.  But they have a good staff that is 
working with me on this.  Their response to my alert to them was in 
minutes of my contact.

This virus appears to redirect all links inside my website.  Links to 
other sites do not appear affected.  .doc, jpg, .xls links also seem 
fine.  Only kl7uw.com/xxxx.htm or .html are corrupted.

Unfortunately, the Alaska VHF-Up Group qsl.net website, which I act 
as webmaster, was also hacked.  It is much simpler and all that I had 
to do was upload uncorrupted html files to replace the bad ones.

Hacker read my FTP client passwords to access the websites.
