 * I posted a couple days ago. My site is swarming with malware. I took it down 
   ofr a while (8 months or so) and when i reloaded WP files i do not have admin
   access, the login page does not load. (error 500)
 * Several people posted much helpful info about virus/malware protection but that
   is all moot if I can’t get in to install plugins and whatever other steps that
   might be recomended.
 * the site is oldrv dot net but it is blacklisted so there is no reason to go look
   there.
 * I just want some clues as to what WP files might be messed up and causing the
   falure to load hte login page.
 * Thanks
