    Hello, I just received an email from my webhoster, saying that 6 php files are infected by malware and they blocked my website until I remove the malwares. All of those 6 php files belong to different plugins. Here the php file which is from this plugin:

    ‘PHP/WebShell-W’ in /var/www/vhosts/MYDOMAIN/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/woo-floating-cart-lite/xt-woo-floating-cart.php

    All of those plugins are up to date. Of course none of them are malware, but just want to let you know because yours is there too. What could be the reason, any suggestion? Or do you know how I could scan those php files for malware?

    Thank you.

    There is absolutely no malware unless your host is compromised and files have been altered by hacker. I suggest you delete the plugin and reinstall a fresh copy.

    But nobody can know if the compromising happened on my end or on the host side.
    I deleted everything and restored an earlier backup.
