Plugin detects malware, but doesn't fix it
-
Okay, so I am using the latest version of your plugin on my site (http://lowercolumbiacap.org). For a long time I have suspected malware on the site, and after installing it it has indeed confirmed there is malware.
The malware on the site is creating an ‘images’ folder in the public_html site root and in that folder are tons of images of things such as viagra, cialis, etc.. Additionally the malware is putting a file called json.js in the folder /wp-includes/js/json.php.
As mentioned, your plugin detects the json.js file and then I ope to fix it. It fixes it successfully, but 10 minutes later the malware code just comes back and the fixed json.js is just replaced with a new copy with the malware back in it.
I’ve changed my database username, password, as well as the WordPress admin username and password as well. No such luck whatsoever even in doing that.
So, my question is this… If your plugin can detect the malware, quarantine it, and fix it, then why does it keep coming back?
I realize maybe this isn’t the fully of your plugin, but figured I would ask anyways!
