Hello. We have two websites that appears to have been infected with malware. History: a few weeks ago the site was returning error messages similar to the image here, but different - the problem was that PHP closing tags had gone missing from the pages... this was fixed and then the website had extra security added, malicious code was removed etc. Now there is a new error message (see the image) - inspection of the site shows that many files have had their extension changed to .[login to view URL] We need help to fix the sites and get them back online and then give us recommendations about how to avoid this in future. There is a backup available from a few weeks ago when the earlier problem occurred, but important to remember there is probably some malicious code lurking in there somewhere - in any case the backed up files are a lot better than what we have now.

These are fairly common attacks on WP sites. It will be focusing on replicating inside a range of pages that end with header, head, or index. The .[login to view URL] comes from your hosting company noticing you have malware and changing the file names to stop the spread and threat of the attack (as changing the file type causes the malicious code to not execute). I can clean out the entire system, I will just need a chance to work directly with the code you have. There is also a good chance that code was either missed and re-replicated or there was a small back door inserted into the site so when you 'fixed' it, the hacker had a simple way to get back in without any issues at all. I can include a hour test to see where the attack could have come from within the system and any potential back doors,, but it's very unlikely to find something in that amount of time and may need a more thorough investigation. Feel free to send me any questions you may have, Daniel Larson

Hi there, I have 9+ years of experience in PHP/MySql and Internet security with 650+ reviews on Freelancer. I have worked on similar malware cleanup projects earlier and specialize in malware removal. Please check my profile reviews. I have checked the screenshot attached and I see the sites are giving fatal error due to malware code. I can remove the existing malware from your 2 websites and restore them making sure that it doesn't happen again, securing the sites. I will make sure that there are no hidden backdoors left over in the existing files. I will also check and remove any files ending up with .suspected extension. I will also update the WP and its plugins to the latest version and hide the admin login URL . Later I will submit the site at google webmaster tools and see if there is any existing security warning which is to be removed. I will provide you with the link to clean backup of site files and database after the end of the job, so that you can download it to your PC Please award the job and provide hosting access along with the 2 site URLs, please let me know if you also have any other sites hosted in the account along with these 2 sites. Looking forward to work for you. I'm available to start right away. Best Regards, Syed
