 * One of my sites was infected the the MW:SPAM:SEO malware. Both the Backup Buddy
   malware check and Securi sitecheck were finding it in their scans. I’ve used 
   the gotomls plugin in the past and highly recommend it. However, this time it
   wasn’t finding the source of the malware so I wanted to let you know what I found.
   It was coming from a script inserted in my header.php file. A snippet others 
   can search for to see if it’s in their files is: ‘facebook-jssdk’. It’s possible
   that this came from a plugin that had been added and removed in the past. Let
   me know if you’d like me to email you more details for your next round of updates.
   Hope this is helpful!

 * Yes, please email the infected header.php file so that I can add this new threat
   to my definition updates.
