[Plugin: Web Security Tools] Not quite sure how to use this

  • I just did a scan of my website and at the end of it my website was locked down. The is the content of the log file:

    OK, so it’s telling me my site has problems and it’s locked it down, but it doesn’t tell me what the problems are. So how do I go about fixing them?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Snowmoon,

    I’m sorry to say but your site has been infected by a virus. You can follow the instructions at https://www.vnetpublishing.com/websecuritytools/ . Since you don’t seem to be an expert you should probably hire someone who is to repair your site. If you are on a tight budget but aren’t able to isolate the virus and create a virus definition file than your other option is to backup your database and web site and do a fresh wordpress install. Most people with wordpress who are getting infected are using timthumb be sure you don’t use anything with timthumb. You may even be able to recover your blog articles from the database and put them in your new database.

    Best Regards,

    Hi rritoch,
    I’m having the same situation. However, is there an example somewhere of how one must enter the virus definition? It’s a hack that keeps rewriting my htacces file. And it keeps forcing redirection to it’s page.

    I’ve copied and pasted it here. Somehow this hack began right after I updated WordPress to 3.3.1 My template does not use timthumb.

    Thank you for any response…

    Oh i didn’t realize i need to use pastebin… here is the url:
    https://pastebin.com/SkLRwbmj

    so, do I just copy and paste this into a file and label the file something like changediv.static

    This is exactly how it looks on my htacess file.
