Hi everyone, this is what I did to clean my website:

I kept trying every wordpress plugin, most of them including this one showed me as clean but my site was still infected and redirecting.

FINALLY I downloaded and installed “Bullet Proof Security” (just search for it in the wordpress plugins search, its free).

When I did the Mscan in BPS (after doing their setup), I would get several “suspicious files” and “suspicious DB entries”. I went thru the “suspicious files” one by one, and deleted either the file or the plugin that they were a part of (deactivate then delete the plugin). Obviously, this can be done for non-critical plugins. If the plugin is critical for your website, then hopefully you have access to the original plugin source so you can re-install a “clean” one once your site is clear.

I dont remember how many files/plugins I had to delete (5 or 6 I think) but eventually I killed the one that was infected (I checked for redirection after each plugin I deleted). I think the one infected for me was either WP-Optimize or Live Chat.

So this is what I did and I am now clean. I run several security plugins now that hopefully harden me to having this happen ever again. Good luck.

You dont see any redirects because after your plugin and about 4 or 5 others failed to identify and/or clean the infection, I finally downloaded a plug-in called bulletproof security (BPS) and began deleting files (all plugins) that it identified as being suspicious until finally after I had deleted enough of them I must have killed the rogue infected one(s) because I am now clean. I am not sure exactly WHICH plugin it was, maybe live chat or WPOptimize.

However, whichever one it was, your plugin failed to detect the infected code. In any event, I am now clean, though.

I have still malware redirect even though your full scan says clean. please check
