    That is not a file in this plugin. You should delete the plugin and re-install it.

    You can see a list of all files here: https://github.com/billerickson/genesis-grid

    I wouldn’t stop there in my opinion. Odds are this isn’t the only “suspicious file” added. Out of curiosity what were the contents of the file?

    Depending on your host, there are usually scripts available to run that will check for viruses/malware/etc. It’s usually a little complicated if you’ve never done it before though.

    I suggest installing this:

    Anti-Malware and Brute-Force Security

    It is in my opinion the fastest and easiest way to find malware files for free.

    There are also some great security plugins that do a good job of preventing this kind of stuff from happening (for the most part). I like All in One WP Security, but there are a lot of options out there.

    At the end i deleted the file and now everything is correct but i’ll installa a plugin of anti-malware

    Regards 🙂
