 * Can anyone help me with this? I am a complete technical novice!
 * I ran a Wordfence scan and recieved the following message…..
 * This file may contain malicious executable code: /home1/l1l2a3/public_html/wp-
   content/themes/flexsqueeze150/404.php
    Filename: wp-content/themes/flexsqueeze150/
   404.php File type: Not a core, theme or plugin file. Issue first detected: 30
   mins ago. Severity: Critical Status New This file is a PHP executable file and
   contains an eval() function and base64() decoding function on the same line. 
   This is a common technique used by hackers to hide and execute code. If you know
   about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans.
 * I now seem to have no access to my wordpress dashboard (page saying: no data 
   received) and Avast warns me of the following:
 * URL: [http://blazingsables.co.uk/wp-admin/index.php](http://blazingsables.co.uk/wp-admin/index.php)
   |{gzip}
    Infection: JS:ScriptIP-inf[Trj] Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\
   Application\Chrome.exe
 * Can someone please tell me what this coding might look like and how to remove
   it please? Flexsqueeze is the theme I am using for my website and I don’t want
   to delete the infected files and lose everything that I have done!
 * Thank you :/
