WordPress Malware Warning

  • Hi

    I received an email from google saying ‘some of your pages can cause users to be infected with malicious software’ With the url being where my wordpress blog is, and one post in partcular

    However I do not have comments enabled on my template so how could it have been compromised, what should I do?

    Thanks for any advice

  • Look at the source code for that page and see if there is any source that shouldn’t be there. If there is try to see if there is a plugin that is being bad. If there isn’t Google probably made a mistake, unless you have a link to a file that they believe is malware. If no links and no bad source all you can do is ask Google “wtf is the deal? My site is clean!!!” and hope they fix it.

    start by looking at what your host said a few weeks ago:

    which, btw, is referencing what looks like a Joomla install to me.

    Not to say your problem isnt a wordpress one, just that your previous post certainly isnt indicative of it being the case.

    With the recent experience I had, all I should say is “think twice before deciding to install your own WordPress blog”. I wonder if the latest version of wordpress comes with full security. After installing wordpress blog into my website I started receiving huge number of spam comments. I didn’t approve most of them and kept ignoring. Then, suddenly after a few months I found all pages of my website including the blog got infected with malware codes. Not only this, somehow these codes also got into my other websites that were opened in my FTP. I was needed to delete the blog and get into each and every single page of my websites to remove malware codes. It took me me more than a month to get things into place and I suffered a huge wastage of time. So, the scenario now is….I do not have a blog in my website anymore. And I am too afraid to try installing it again. Does anyone have any idea how I can have a good free blog with full security. Thanks..Molo, https://www.pixelgenio.com
