Malicious Checker scans all of your files for potentially malicious.. What Malicious Checker Does Malicious Checker searches the source files of every installed theme and plugin for signs of malicious code. If such code is found, Malicious Checker displays the path to the theme file and plugin file, the line number, and a small snippet of the suspect code. Then what do you do? Just because the code is there doesn’t mean it’s not supposed to be or even qualifies as a threat, but most theme authors don’t include code outside of the WordPress scope and have no reason to obfuscate the code they make freely available to the web. We recommend contacting the theme author with the code that the script finds, as well as where you downloaded the theme. The real value of this plugin is that you can quickly determine where code cleanup is needed in order to safely enjoy your theme. History Malicious Checker got its start when we repeatedly found obfuscated malicious code in free WordPress themes and WordPress plugins available throughout the web. A quick way to scan a theme for undesirable code was needed, so we put together this plugin. I have had different problems with malicious code and for that reason I created this plugin.
