 * Hackers used this plugin to gain access to my client’s site taking it down. Good
   thing for back ups.

 * Hi,
 * How do you upgrade the plugin if the whole my server is not working? I had 1 
   WP and 2 custom made sites, they are all important to me. How do I reinstate 
   that. I have no control over this plugin since I am being redirected when I try
   to login to my WP admin.
    I need someone who can do this for me please!!!
