 * Hi there, I have received this message from VaultPress:
 * Generic.Eval.1
 * This code pattern is often used to execute unauthorized programs on your server.
   The code in these files needs to be reviewed, and possibly cleaned.
 *  admin_updates.php
 *  /plugins/js-jobs/modules/jsjobs/tmpl
 * PHP.Shell.Embedded.2
 * VaultPress has detected a web-based “shell” a very dangerous backdoor which may
   allow unauthorized access to your server. A shell may be used to infect your 
   server with a virus, or add malware to your site.

 * Hi There,
 * I don’t really understand your reply. There is two issues:
 * Generic.Eval.1: that is often used to execute unauthorized programs on server.
 * PHP.Shell.Embedded.2: a web-based “shell” a very dangerous backdoor which may
   be used to infect the server with a virus, or add malware to your site.
 * Action: The code in these files needs to be reviewed, and possibly cleaned.
 * Will you do it? How can I correct it as requested?
 * BR
