 * Hello,
 * My client’s site recently got malware despite my repeated warnings, so I cleaned
   it up but the back end now looks like it’s been through a blender, and comes 
   up with 403 errors. The permissions were all set correctly in the FTP, but I 
   am unable to download anything from the wp-content folder as it says I lack permissions.
   The admin panel once logged in goes to a 403 error, and I’m unable to go any 
   further than that.
 * The site itself is fine, it functions like normal but I’m just unable to access
   the admin panel.
 * I am using Plesk to manage my WordPress site.

 * I have deleted the .htaccess file, replaced core files but that doesn’t seem 
   to be working.
