3.1.5 Site infected with malware

Post by someone1 » Sun Oct 13, 2013 3:46 pm

leolam,

I am a new joomla 3.1.5 beginner. I have been hacked and the most difficult things for me to understand when trying to dehack my site are knowing how to do and/or how to find certain things/files.

What do you mean by this...."Delete all files in your Joomla installation, saving a copy of the configuration.php file."

All of what files in my joomla installation? To me that sound like wiping out my entire site.

You do not wipe out your entire site. You replace the actual files and folders with clean and proper ones. Simple a matter of reloading the default stuff

Thank you for responding.

I wish it were simple.

I do not seem to have a public_html to put the FPA into.

Ok, I think I have used the FPA correctly. Here are the results.

You can contact your hosting manager depending on your hosting company and package, if you are able to do this, your manager and the hosting company will remove the malware from your site in just minutes or hours ; )
