 Hello
 My ISP recently ran an audit on their system and the following email was
 received:

 Hi Nick,
 During a recent audit of our servers for malware the following files were
 found in your account that we believe may constitute a risk. Please
 investigate at your earliest convenience and remove any malware, upgrade
 any software installed (e.g. WordPress) or plugins. If these files are
 encrypted or for a legitimate reason or you believe they are a false
 positive then please reply to this ticket letting us know what the files
 do so we can add a security exception for them if necessary.
 Files flagged by our report:
 /home2/nhintcom/public_html/wp-admin/options-reading-xml.php
 /home2/nhintcom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/index.php
 /home2/nhintcom/public_html/wp-content/themes/index.php
 /home2/nhintcom/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2014/index.php
 /home2/nhintcom/public_html/wp-copy.php
 Note: If you are unsure what these files do please contact your software
 vendor to confirm that these files should be encrypted.
 Kind regards,
