malware in wp-content/cache/object/000000 ?

  • Hello,

    my host is warning me that there is malware in many of my sites under the above directory.

    The issue appeared after I activated and setup w3tc. Is this a known issue? Is there malware in the 00000 folder (here’s an example ls)

    If that is indeed malware is it w3tc related? How can I remove it?

    Thanks
