Hi, i manage a website and it had the new update a couple of days ago but i had problems up loading to the hosting due to an ajax file which is corrupt or as the hosting company said has code in it which looks like a virus. For this reason the website will not work the guest checkout will not work, and the entire website design is malfunctioning, can you please advise?
They sent me the following:
Thank you for getting in touch with us.
FTP is connecting fine.
However our servers use ‘Clam AV’ to scan uploading files for malicious viruses and code – to protect our servers and customers on this shared platform from issues caused by uploading what may possibly be infected files.
If it finds code it believes is malicious it will block the upload and lock FTP access for around an hour.
The logs are showing the following file is the issue:
web/wp-content/themes/legenda/js/.in.head.js.’
If you open that file in notepad you will most likely see a block of obfuscated code. Obfuscated code is the type of coding virus writers employ to often disguise virus code in files.
What we would recommend is that you contact the software vendor of the software you are uploading and ask them if they have a version of the file .in.head.js.’ that does not contain obfuscated code.
If they can provide that version of the file, it should upload fine.
Missing that file out of the upload completely will obviously allow you to upload successfully.
We will now close your enquiry unless you require further information. Replying to this enquiry will re-open this ticket should you wish to discuss further.
