 * Hi I keep getting this mplugin.php redirect malware. I run wordfence scan at 
   it’s highest sensivity and delete it. But it has appeared again after a month
   or so. I removed it again I am noticing that the function.php file in wp_admin
   was edited or added at the same time as this mplugin file. I don’t see anything
   that sticks out from me in this file they may have edited.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmplugin-redirect-malware%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@coyotech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coyotech/)
 * If the infection keeps coming back then this very likely means that you haven’t
   patched the intrusion vector and the same attacker is exploiting the same vulnerability.
   You will need to follow our site cleaning guide below:
