Seems you might be infected locally on your computer.

Is this the URL to your site? I think I typed it properly from your attachment:
http://www.tropicalaquascape.com.au/board/index.php
I am getting a 403 error at the moment.

really? that's another problem.
I only used my laptop and it seems normal to open the page. now followed the link from above to the clean step and the adsware removed successfully. thank you.
then what next so I can solve the new problem???

Seems like a permissions thing to me. This error explained here:

Are you able to get to your site?

yes I can access normally.

I used to set IP deny in Cpanel by adding the list from SMF link. but I think that s too many normal IP were included. when I tried to remove I cant do ranges of IP. I dont know how. I can only do it one by one.

may be your IP is in the list.
