What to do now
- Replace Adsmonetizer. A closed plugin gets no updates through WordPress, so this hole stays open.
- Deactivate and delete it once you have a replacement (Plugins → Deactivate → Delete). Deactivating alone leaves its files on the server.
- Not sure which version you run? Check your version against every known Adsmonetizer issue.
- If you ran an affected version and something looks off (new admin users, spam pages, redirects), run the free scan below.
