Hi. I'd like to ask you one thing. The wordpress I was dealing with couldn't run, because of some kind of a bug in the virus code. So, I've tried to remove that virus by hand. Long story short: I've renamed the "www" directory to "old_wordpress" and created a new "www" directory. Which immediately got an infected index.php inside. It would recreate the infected index.php no matter what I would do to clear the op-cache, or how long I would wait with creating the "www" directory. What's the right solution for that type of the situation?

Looks like a malware reinfection. These are really tricky. I would suggest get an expert on Fiverr to validate the server process to identify the cause. If you want a quick solution, check out our product MalCare, it has a one click cleanup for such situations - www.malcare.com

Hi Nayim, the video isnt ready yet, but you can find steps in this article: www.malcare.com/blog/wordpress-hacked/

My problem is Sucuri is warning me that my site is infected (link injections), but MalCare is telling me my site is clean (WordFence too). Not sure how to proceed here...
