How to completly remove /usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect

[nat]

I installed cpanel pro addon module.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect started showing up using all of the CPU.

I killed it and it just comes back later.

1. I uninstalled cpanel pro addon module

2. I deleted /usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect from httpd.conf

The next time httpd.conf is updated by adding an account or something, it adds /usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect back to httpd.conf and then it starts running again using all of the CPU.

How do you completly get rid of leechprotect?

I searched /usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect. Look at the posts. Many, many, many post about high CPU usage and not being able to turn it off. We should be able to turn this thing off.

I uninstalled cpanel pro. Is there any way to get rid of this and put it back like it was before I installed cpanel pro? Uninstalling cpanel pro should undo cpanel pro but it is not.

System:

• cPanel 11.25.0-S45750 - WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9
• REDHAT Enterprise 5.5 x86_64 standard

Doing the following seems gets rid of it until the next time cpanel is upgraded or until the next time apache is compiled.

Edit /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.default

nano /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/main.default

Delete...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap LeechProtect prg:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect
RewriteLock /usr/local/apache/logs/rewrite_lock
[% END -%]

Save and exit nano.
