Hey guys, I have a few sites being hosted on Godaddy, all of a sudden 3 of those sites are not showing live on the net. I am being told a couple things by godaddy. That 2 of my sites have been hacked and have viruses and one site has a plugin issue so it is not live.

I am not a programmer and can't afford to pay someone yet again to do this work so I am trying to learn to do it myself. If any of you experienced guys here can give me a little guidance I will greatly appreciate it. I have access to the cpanel and File Manager but first I don't know how to remove or disable the plugin for one site.

This below is taken from their email, if anyone can guide me how to remove that plugin would be nice, help please?

Howdy!

Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, iThemes Security Pro."

Create backup of cpanel and download backup.
Clear the cpanel.
Do antivirus scan for downloaded backup, if any delete those files.
And upload the backup to the cpanel.
