Hi,

Is this a problem?

File contains suspected malware URL: /home/content/06/9631006/html/wp-content/themes/replete/includes/helper-social-media.php

Filename: wp-content/themes/replete/includes/helper-social-media.php
Bad URL: http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/19/put-a-fork-in-erp/
File type: Not a core, theme or plugin file.
Issue first detected: 5 secs ago.
Severity: Critical
Status New

This file contains a suspected malware URL listed on Google's list of malware sites. Wordfence decodes base64 when scanning files so the URL may not be visible if you view this file. The URL is: http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/19/put-a-fork-in-erp/ - More info available at Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

And what steps should I take?

Hi Adendum,

Re-download the theme files from Themeforest so that you have a fresh copy. Next, ask your host to scan your site for any malware/exploits/issues.

Make sure to also change any passwords associated with your accounts.

Right away you can upload a replacement for that specific file from the fresh copy you downloaded to get rid of the issue. The other steps are to make sure it doesn't come back.

Regards,

Devin
