Hi SI Team

I got a mail from my hoster on Friday saying that there was Malware on my site.
I tracked it down to the Elegant Index.php file.
I have since removed the code with out breaking anything in the process.
Site Ground now say that my site is clean again!

Maybe you guys want to look at it.
I am attaching the index file below.
You need to look at line 35.

The offending code relates to this here:

I am guessing that this just affected me but I thought that I would mention it just in case.

thanks

Paul
This is actually not an issue with the template, it's most likely that the permissions of the files and folders on the site is incorrect and allowed hackers to inject arbitrary codes.
