Best work with an ftp for this. It could be encrypted code also served by an inserted js file reference, so review your head section completely. Finally probably an outdated script someplace on your plugins so go see which ones got active exploits ( just search exploit and plugin name) and update or switch out ta any security risks. Also ensure your on the latest wp version. |

If you still have trouble add me on skype (akelly-uk) and I can help you get this fixed. Cheers, Thanks. I really appreciate your offer to help. I ended up disabling it and installing a new commenting plugin. Do you think that's sufficient or should I dig into it further and make sure it's not been further compromised? |
