Malware installed on my site
-
My sysadmin told me malware has been installed on my site. He gave me a list of infected files. My site contains three wordpress installations. it looks like at least one instance of the malware has been installed in every single directory within my site. My question is this:
How do I deal with this?
How do I know it has not infected the database?
How do I make sure it does not happen again?The Sysadmin recommends installing a SW called sitelock, which i am initially against, under the assumption that they probably wrote the software to cause the problem in the first place to generate revenue. Installing antivirus to me is bloatware. I think the site should work as it without complicating things further. To me, this is not a solution to the problem.
Please advise. Thank you.
the php code in one of the files looks like this:
