 * My host company sent me an email for support, they asked me to remove infected
   files using a clam scan. When I go to log in I get a setup page.
 * “Database name
    Database username Database password Database host Table prefix(
   if you want to run more than one WordPress in a single database) We’re going 
   to use this information to create a wp-config.php file. If for any reason this
   automatic file creation doesn’t work, don’t worry. All this does is fill in the
   database information to a configuration file. You may also simply open wp-config-
   sample.php in a text editor, fill in your information, and save it as wp-config.
   php. Need more help? We got it.
 * In all likelihood, these items were supplied to you by your Web Host. If you 
   don’t have this information, then you will need to contact them before you can
   continue. If you’re all ready…”
 * Here what the support sent me
 * “I understand it is important to get this website issue fixed as soon as possible.
 * I have checked your website [http://k1n7t6.ca/](http://k1n7t6.ca/) and it is 
   redirecting to the URL: [http://k1n7t6.ca/tagottawa/](http://k1n7t6.ca/tagottawa/).
   I have see that you are using multi site WordPress website. However, database
   prefix is set as wp_and I have checked database: ss_dbname_jjck3ml4kn and site,
   Home is set as: [http://k1n7t6.ca/tagottawa/](http://k1n7t6.ca/tagottawa/) .Also,
   I was able to find many database prefix in your account. But unable to find main
   database prefix. It is advisable update the proper database prefix so that you
   should be able to access the website.
 * For testing purpose, I have updated the database name wrd_h3f3ece1g3 for the 
   website but still not able to access the website. I have undo the changes. Can
   you please provide the exact database prefix would like to set the WordPress 
   website? Or please upload the all files and database from local backup if any.
 * A heads up, we will not make any changes without your permission. So there is
   no changes made from our end.””””””

 * Did you do this already ?
 * What is the prefix listed as in your wp-config.php file under the k1n7t6.ca root?
   
   [https://paulund.co.uk/get-database-table-prefix-in-wordpress](https://paulund.co.uk/get-database-table-prefix-in-wordpress)
 * Also login to your phpMyAdmin to check the prefix. And look at the site_url in
   the _options table to make sure your website address is listed.

 * Yes the offending files were deleted from the WordPress folder,many index.php,
   would you like to see a list of the clam scan.log they sent me. Most are experimental
   sites on a subfolder, i have a backup of the data bas and a backup of the WordPress
   folder.
    There are over 133 manual deletions required.

 * The database connection string have already been removed from your earlier post.
   
   So have you gone ahead and removed all those files ?

 * all the malware files under WordPress have been removed, a bigger problem is 
   that the database seems to be missing the primary, im lost sorry, maybe not an
   easy fix but something in a backup, i use a plugin called updraft, i have the
   backups but they may have malware, i just need it up long enough to backup my
   more important work, i wonder if this would work
    1. install WP add updraft plugin
   import the backups and run? i wonder if that would fix the data base and the 
   wp network?

 * Yes, sure go ahead and try.
    You could install a local copy on your computer –
   may makes things easier. [https://localwp.com/](https://localwp.com/) or [https://themeisle.com/blog/install-xampp-and-wordpress-locally/](https://themeisle.com/blog/install-xampp-and-wordpress-locally/)

 * If your website is made with a CMS, then a good place to start is with the original
   installation files, since they are not infected and available for you to download.
   
   Get a list of all the files that have malware. You can find it in the One.com
   control panel. Download the installation files for your CMS. It needs to be the
   same version as you have installed.
