Can somebody please tell me how to remove the Product .XML file of this hack from my Cpanel? So that I can start over? Just a note: Would be great to see a warning in bold to prevent this happening to others.

Thanks to anyone willing to help.

There is a global, code-level switch you can use to totally disable the plugin/hook system so that any plugins (including broken ones) do not run.

To disable the plugin/hook system completely without accessing the Admin CP options, you need to edit includes/config.php and add the following code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

With this code in config.php, no plugins will run at all.

To re-enable the plugin system, remove the code again from config.php.
