comment Avast keeps blocking a malicious URL but can't tell which one
In that directory I see 3 more directories: Local, LocalLow and Roaming. None of them contain a directory called Avast.

I searched "Java" in all files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AVAST Software\Avast\report but no matches were found

comment Avast keeps blocking a malicious URL but can't tell which one
@AbsoluteĈµERØ where and which? I've got Avast Internet Security and it appears to have multiple logs, none of which I can identify any part of the shown message in. For example there's the firewall log but I don't see any mention of Java in recent entries.

So this amounts to putting the file outside of the web root folder?

comment Password and username used to connect to database in source code
I think I get what you're saying but to make sure let me argue against you: isn't that an obvious target to have a file db_config.php for an attacker looking for passwords? Is the idea that now there is only one file to "specially" protect, but how would this be protected more so than other files? No PHP source code files are made public so wouldn't this be the same level of security?

What is a configuration repository? I hardly know anything about anything you said.

comment What precaustions should be taken when the file displayed by a webpage is specified by the GET value
I'm open to any ideas so let's talk about the database. Are you saying to make a database so that when the value for GET is abc (i.e. navigate.php?d=abc) the database would map abc to firstpage.html? Or would it make more sense to have stored in the database a list of viewable pages and if the GET value (i.e. firstpage.html) isn't on the list the page is not displayed?
