 * Wordfence scan results show that malware has infected my site – capalabaphysio.
   com.au with the following details;
 * **File contains suspected malware URL: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/429320/890212/www.
   capalabaphysio.com.au/web/content/wp-admin/admin-header.php**
 * Filename: wp-admin/admin-header.php
    Bad URL: [removed from public forum]
 * One option is to delete the file – does this delete admin-header.php?
 * I am using Wordfence for security but have been infected. Does Wordfence only
   advise me after I have been infected or should it have blocked this threat? Should
   I use more than Wordfence, does that introduce conflicts?
 * It would appear that the js script for ‘çlickevents’ is the problem Do I just
   open every php file and delete that wherever I find it?
 * Thanks, Chris

 * Remain calm and carefully follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
 * I can’t answer the specific Wordfence questions, but once you’re done cleaning
   up and implementing the recommended security measures, I recommend asking at 
   [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
