Process Running: wp-includes/class-read.php

    Hi All,

    I’m using hostgator for my hosting and when I logged into cpanel I noticed that I had a bunch of processes running.

    When I clicked on details, they were all the same. Many of my WordPress sites had this:
    (my domain)/wp-includes/class-read.php

    Does anyone know what this is? Is this normal for a WordPress site to run this process, or does this indicate I’m being hacked somehow?

    Thanks, Susie

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Hi,

    I haven’t gone that far but…I did see the file class-read.php. But when I try to edit it, I see binary code so it looks like it’s some kind of program rather than a php file. Also as a test I did a new wordpress install. There is no class-read.php file as part of the new install. Which makes me think it’s a hack thing.

    Maybe I’ll just delete class-read.php and stop the process.

    Well..this is interesting.

    That class-read.php file has a modified date of 11/3/2008 at 6:25 pm. There are three other files that have exactly the same modified date and time:
    class-pop.php (text file, part of my new WP install)
    common.php
    wp-vars.php

    These last two files are exactly like class-read.php in that they are binary files and they do not exist in my new install.

    I’m not sure what that all means.
