 * I forgot to add to my last post above a few minutes ago;
 * In the results from the Wordfence scan which highlighted a potentially dangerous
   file (wp-includes/js/plupload/instal1.php), it gives the option to delete the
   file.
 * Forgive my complete ignorance, but is it safe to just hit the delete button? 
   I only ask as I’m not sure if the file might be a legitimate one which was included
   within the system, but has had malicious stuff added to it.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I’m thinking it may be better to just switch to a .com hosted site. Can anyone
   tell me what costs are involved?
 * I understand the functionality may not be as broad as a .org site due to restrictions
   on plug-ins etc, but is there a way of finding out if my existing site will still
   be fully compatible?
 * It’s [http://www.maxmynorm.com](http://www.maxmynorm.com)
 * It is pretty basic – just a series of articles monetized by Adsense, Content.
   Ad and Advertis.com. There aren’t any transactional issues – I don’t sell any
   products through the site needing payments in any form.
 * The final thing I need to know is if I can switch to .com for hosting, will anyone
   be able to fix the issues I’m having right now, or do I still need the services
   of a web developer?

 * Thank you songdogtech and Andrew.
 * This is so frustrating… I’m just a guy with a laptop who writes articles and 
   monetizes the site; I’m not a programmer hence the use of off-the-shelf packages.
 * I set my site up in mid November, and until the end of December it was going 
   great, but since then I’ve spent all of my time trying to defend myself against
   attacks and login attempts from people trying to somehow benefit from my time,
   effort and personal financial investment.
 * Is it possible to run a simple website without being a web-wizard with detailed
   programming or code-writing knowledge?!
 * I’ve got a meeting in a few days with a specialist – hopefully he can help and
   re-light my belief that this can work, because right now I’m thinking of throwing
   in the towel!
 * Thanks again.
