Malicious code in *.php files

[josebalmeida]

Hello!

My hosting provider says my site have malicious code in *.php files. The code is:

eval(code);

However I can't find it.

I run joomla Forum Post Assistant but I don't see nothing about an eval() code.

Thanks
José Almeida

What you just sent its' self is not malicious, but can be used in an injection attack. IF it is there it is best to properly adjust the code to help prevent this sort of attack.

Have you tried inserting your files into somewhere like notepad++ and using the search function?

Sometimes in all that code our eyes miss things. But the search and find function always wins. haha
