Htaccess safe to use settings

Server Config
1

I just want to be sure this htaccess is safe to use on my webserver.


# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName mywebsite.com
AuthUserFile /home/acahilda/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/acahilda/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

the reason that i have became paranoid is i found a virus in one of the submission forms

hay,

That looks okay (but should be in the httpd.conf rather than .htaccess).

If you’ve found a virus in a submission form (SUBMISSION?), then you’re fully aware that you MUST validate all your input from a form. Most of it is pretty easy but, if you allow uploading of files, be aware that image files can now contain viruses and/or worms so you really need to be aware (run it through GD2 and resize - that SHOULD get rid of any extraneous code).

Regards,

DK
