 * installed plugin and ran scan on newcombeestate.com. Identified many issues –
   ran the ‘fix’ and all looked good so i clicked on a link to the page listed (
   you know curiosity :p…) to see the code (before i donated of course!) and have
   now got
 * “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/content/59/5207659/html/domains/
   newcombeestate.com/wp-content/plugins/trackable-social-share-icons/index.php 
   on line 1”
 * I recognised the plugin so i went to remove the plugin but the page reloaded 
   to the error, then checked the website and got the error and now i can only view
   this error! cant load website or get to wordpress dashboard????
    I am so out 
   of my depth! How do i fix this?

 * Your site is working now. It looks like my plugin must have broken the syntax
   in that plugin file when it removed the threat.
 * Can I have a look at the backup of the infected file so that I can see why it
   broke?
 * You can email attachments directly to: wordpress at ieonly dot com

 * the plugin for the most part worked as promised! Thank you. There was a little
   piece of code/text left in 2 index.php files. Once I removed those the site worked.
 * Overall the plugin helped tremendously – it would have been painstaking to have
   manually tried to remove all the malware code on each file that was infected –
   having to fix only 2 was a blessing.
 * I emailed you a file I hope it helps.
    Thanks again.

 * i still have 59 potential threats identified, each with the same code…
 *  eval(“?>$content<?php “)
 * is this something i should watch? Do you ahve any more data on that or know why
   you have it ‘found’ in the code?
 * I guess it just makes me nervous to see that many highlighted.
    Thanks

 * Thanks for that file you emailed! I can now see why it broke and I will be updating
   my definitions soon to fix that.
 * As for the “Potential Threats”, I generally don’t worry about them and have been
   trying to figure out how to play down the importance of them because they are
   usually not malicious at all. However, I do find it suspicious that you have 
   59 of them that all eval that $content variable. Without knowing what that $content
   variable is set to I cannot say how dangerous it is. Could you send me one of
   those files too, or post more of the code?

 * I updated the definitions to handle that code removal better so you don’t get
   left with a syntax error.
 * Thanks for your help identifying the problem.
 * Aloha, Eli
