    Hey there,

    When clicking automatically fix, does it only remove the bad code but leave the rest of the original code in tact and usable?

    I just want to be sure the files will be ok after clicking automatically FIX?

    Also, the files will not be deleted either will they after clicking to automatically fix right?

    🙂

    That is correct, the files will not be deleted. My plugin was designed specifically to remove the malicious code from the any file without affecting the other code that may have been in that file before it was infected.

    Aloha, Eli

    Oh…what if the only info in the file is malicious? In that case, will it delete the file and or flag it to let one know it is ok to totally delete it if there is no other info in the file that is useful.

    It still will not delete the file because if that file is included or required in another file then it could break your whole site to delete it, so the contents are simply removed leaving behind the empty/harmless file.
