Answer 1

I've got the same problematic. So to solve it do this procedure.

1. Stop apache2 process : service apache2 stop
2. Delete malware : rm -f /var/tmp/chron-34e2fg /var/tmp/.jnks/*
3. Reinstall apache 2 like this quote said

REINSTALL APACHE2:

sudo apt-get purge apache2

sudo apt-get install apache2

Then REINSTALL PHP5:

apt-get purge libapache2-mod-php5 php5 && apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5
