 * I found this in my supreme theme a few days ago and thought I would post it.
   
   The scanner did not find it. FYI I changed the http to hxxp
 *     ```
       ./wp-content/themes/supreme/footer.php:190:                                        <div id="edu-menu" style="display:none;"><a href="//[REDACTED]">buy Imitrex</a></div>
       ```

 * That’s probably a nulled theme meaning someone took a commercial product and 
   added Very Bad Things™ to it.
 * I suggest you lose that theme like a bad infection and check your installation
   for further bad things. Or contact the vendor and get an updated copy.

 * [@ianm777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ianm777/),
    You post looks incomplete
   or edited. Can you show me what you found so I can add it to my definition updates?
 * You can email me directly if you can’t post it: eli AT gotmls DOT net

 * Ian,
    Thanks for emailing me that infected footer file. I added that new threat
   to my Definition Updates so it can be automatically removed using my plugin.
 * Please let me know if you find any more.
 * Aloha, Eli
