Potential Threats
-
Hi,
i have recently install (yesterday) your plugin and i made a first whole scan of my sites. It found potential threats over 80 and it was keep on going. I can’t seem to find a way of deleting these files (don’t know if ti must). Do i need to register first so it can shows the specific button or something else? Can you help me with this?

Yes, you need to register to download the latest definition updates. Then you will be able to automatically remove the Known Threats.
…i see but only the Known Threats, not the Potential Threats? Am i right? If it will find Potential Threats there isn’t any problem? Site is clear?
Potential threats should not be removed manually unless you can confirm that they contain malicious code. The new definitions may identify some of those potential threats as known threats and remove the malicious code from those infected files for you automatically.
Please let me know the results of the scan after you download the latest definition updates.
Aloha, Eli

Part of messages i take when i try to delete them…!
You don’t have to delete any of the items in the quarantine. The quarantine is just a list of files that have already been cleaned. No further action is required.
I had the above files i saw you in my ftp. I delete them through filezilla but when i came back into the folder they were there!!!!
So and because i have big problem (although they were quarantine) i didn’t want to take further chances…so i will make a clean installation of wordpress changing at the end the wp-config.php file so it can connect with the database.
For the time being deleting stick at the problematic directory with the 9998 files.
I will have patience…To be clear, my plugin will automatically remove known threats from infected files. Some of these files may also have good code in them so it is not recommended to delete the files completely unless you know that they are not needed. Manually deleting WP Core Files or files that are part of an active plugin or theme can break the site or cause it to become unstable.
It may be that your server still has a vulnerability that is allowing these same files to become reinfected after you clean them. If that is the case then you should look in your access_log files to see if there is a script that is being exploited to re-write these files.
Let me know if you find anything malicious that my plugin is not identifying as a Known Threat.

Tell me something: The only Potential Treat i am founding right now is
…/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.jsIs this something i must worry about or not?
i am asking because my client keeps ringed by the avast antivirus in his site.
I think that contact-form-7 file is ok, it’s probably just got the eval function in it or something but I don’t think it’s malicious.
If your site is flagged or blacklisted by avast then you should look for a reason, a date, and a way to request a review. Once you have been flagged it sometimes takes a while to get off their list.
Maybe you could post a link to the site so I could see more…
my site is http://www.digitallifeage.com/
You should Request a review here:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/digitallifeage.comBut i don’t use mcafee. How does this works?
i choose some fields when it asked me yo to 3 categories. I didn’t understand them…anyway they will inform me i 3-5 business days.
