Forum keeps getting hacked

Heh, Impex should always be removed after you use it for reasons just like this. I hope it solved your problem. I took the liberty of banning his IP and email from my forums, too, just in case he happens to stumble upon them on google or something. Thanks for the heads up.

Hello,

Looks like great advice, but where is the impex file so that I can delete it? Also, now that I have 3.5.4 installed, can I delete the install directory that seems to have all the upgrade files in it?

Thank You for you Help!

The Impex files are located in a folder that's located in your forum root named "impex"; you can remove the entire directory. In your /includes remove the file "cpnav_impex.php".

As for your install directory remove "install.php" and all of the "upgrade.php" files or simply remove the directory itself.

impex will be a directory called .... impex

you can delete the install directory.

I have a file directory called "installer." Can i delete that file? I also just deleted my "install" directory...

I'm not sure if this file has anything to do with the 3.6 upgrade, although it has a file called "product-ucs.xml" within it. So could this be a Ucash installer file?
