How would I do that though? I mean what page/code would I need to change CSS wise to do it? It’s only happening on the events listings, not on normal pages.

For anyone else who has had this problem the issue actually ended up being that the .htaccess file had been changed and parts deleted, I’m assuming by the Malware. But MediaTemple were very helpful in sorting quickly for me.

Sorry to go back again but one more question – my site now seems to be giving a lot of permission errors, e.g. when I try and go to the configure page for All In One SEO Pack plugin or click on subscriptions (under tools menu) it has the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” message coming up. Could the inability to show the screen options tab be related to a permissions problem?

Will give it a whirl. I officially hate Malware!

?? that’s the news I didn’t want to hear! Six different sites all with customised themes!!

Thanks Roy, I think it’s going to be best to start from scratch again. Wipe directories and databases and start afresh, I can copy the text and images down, last thing we need is anyone getting the Malware message – though the one saving grace is that the sites infected are for annual events and are very rarely read at other times of the year.

You all seem to have lucked out. I have changed database passwords, WordPress login passwords, deleted the admin users that shouldn’t have been on there. All of the above and the frickin’ thing keeps coming back. I have 11 sites based on WordPress and five of them are infected. The thought of having to redo all the customisation etc. is killing me.

Steve, I deleted the malicious code, deleted the user Johnny A, changed passwords and two days later I’m back to having a different Malware. Nice of Media Temple to offer the solution to start again but when you’ve customized templates etc. it’s not that simple.

Stevesearer – interesting I also installed a contact form plugin (TDO Mini Forms) a day or two before I also got hit with the same problem? Anyone else got that plugin? Media Temple are very helpful – pretty much delete and start again. Very handy when you’ve 600 posts and images etc. to deal with. Anyone know if this malware causes any damage to anyone who opens? I’m sending an email out to readers and I’d like to say something.
