Hello,
My Joomla RocketTheme website was hacked. My hosting service contacted me stating they took out some of the maleware but not all. They gave me a list of the php files infected.
Can anyone give me some guidance on how to fix this problem?
Does this maleware cause any security issues on my computer?
I will post the email in the secure section.
Thank you for your help. - s.

- Did you have any pirated extensions on your Joomla Install? What version of Joomla did you run, also how did they hack it?

I just checked. This is the version: Joomla! Version Joomla! 3.6.4 Stable [ Noether ] 21-October-2016 16:33 GMT
Joomla! Platform Version Joomla Platform 13.1.0 Stable [ Curiosity ] 24-Apr-2013 00:00 GMT
No pirated stuff. I do not know how they hacked it. I'll find out.
This is a first for me. - Last Edit: 7 years 11 months ago by Chris L.

- Well open the site with FTP erase all of the files that are in the root of the site and delete the database and create a new one ... After that Download a fresh Joomla from Joomla.org and template form RocketTheme and install and that's it ...
