In reply to: WordPress Blog Infected With Malware – Malware.fake_jquery.001Hi Everyone,
I too was having the same problem with several of my websites. I think I have found the solution, since the malware hasn’t returned yet.
1. Change your cpanel password and to be safe, change your WordPress password. I realized after removing the malware, it was always returning. Which means there was a script file added to my server, that wasn’t show up on the malware scan.
2. Download the Sucuri malware plugin. Once the plugin is installed and you get your API key, go the the Sucuri dashboard. There will be a red/pink box informing you, that there has been a change made to your wordpress core files. Delete any files you do not recognize (The file will be something very deceiving, like .ftpquota) . (This will delete the script file that keep reinstalling the malware to your website.) You can do a malware scan and pay to have Sucuri remove the malware. I’m not sure how much it cost, if you do not want to pay head to step 3.
3. Download the Anti-Malware plugin, get your API key and download the newest definitions. Run a complete website scan, it should find the malware , remove it once it is finish downloading. I would suggest donating the $29 for such and awesome plugin! Most companies will charge $200+ to remove the malware.
These are the steps I took to clean my sites. If there is any change to any of my sites I will reply with new changes I have made or if anyone needs any help feel free to contact me.
Thank you
