Hi,

I've been through the checklist and I'm pretty fastidious about checking the JED and updating extensions. However, a php5.php file keeps appearing in the root directory.

I've checked and double-checked extensions and no other part of the site appears to have been 'hacked'.

Could someone suggest what the most likely weakness is please that allows someone to do this? At the moment I can just delete it, but it's a considerable irritation for everyone.

Many thanks,

Dave.

I had deleted it (for the 43rd time) but I will do if it appears again. I've also now changed the administrative passwords.

Many thanks for replying.

Dave.
