Thanks for the articles esmi – I actually already read a lot of those.

The problem is that I have no clue how to fix the issue even after reading them. I know nothing about scripts or how to access files or any of that stuff. I don’t even know what “back door” means in reference to websites. Last time this happened to me someone on here actually volunteered to go into my site and fix it for me so I’m very clueless.

Last time this happened my host – BlueHost – suggested that I sign up for SiteLock because it would protect me from this time of issue in the future. I paid and signed up but it didn’t protect me. Their customer service also has not gotten back to me.

Ok so I went back in and re-sized images, re-optimized images where I could and cleared all cache again. I also took Digital Raindrops suggestion and changed my pages from 8 posts per page to 5 posts per page. Additionally I made the SexyBookmarks edits as well.

Last but not least I took Elieka’s advice about the admin bar. I made that change and now my home page is popping up super quick. I’m hoping that is the final solution. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t go back to being slow.

Can anyone else tell me now if you go to urbanbedougirl.com does the page load fairly quickly or is it taking a while? Hopefully I can mark this as a resolved issue. ??

@digital Raindrops –

I just went back and “re-smushed” some of my images. Apparently there were a lot that Smush It never touched. I’m assuming they were uploaded onto my page before I downloaded the plug-in.

Not sure what you used to scan the image size but could you possible check and see if that helped the size? Thanks for your help.

I can’t even log into the dashboard anymore to try out the suggestions that every has because the page keeps timing out.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I already have deleted all Twitter related plug-ins. I also have W3 Total Cache and WP Smush IT on my site. Any other ways to reduce my image size? I don’t have Photoshop or any image software except GIMP.

Digital Raindrops – I’ll try out your other suggestions as well. Thanks!

This is really weird – I just tried it from my home computer and it’s also slow. I thought that it might be because of my work computer. Even attempting to access my www.ads-software.com dashboard takes forever. My page loads after a minute but my dashboard took about two minutes to load.

Any tips on how to fix this? Not sure why it’s only having this problem with me. Tried it on two different computers with two completely different internet servers.

Apparently the issue was due to my Twitter plugins? I deleted the plugins so hopefully that is what solved the problem.

It’s still running very slow on my computer – I’m at work and using my work computer to check. As long as other people are able to get to it quickly I’m happy.

Big thanks to nihadnagi – he helped me restore my blog and clear the malware from my site. I’m very grateful for all of your help and patience with me. ??

Oh and I STILL can’t get onto my dashboard. I just want to get my posts and go back to Blogger. I’ve had problems with WP since day one.

Alright I did everything that was recommended and now my blog is gone! It’s completely wiped out. I have no idea what to do – how do I get my posts back? I wasn’t able to back anything up because I couldn’t even get to my dashboard.

Just e-mailed you dutchscene. Thanks!

Ok I ran the scan and it’s telling me that the infect area is the wp-includes folder as Thisisjustin said. However I am brand new to WP and have no HTML skills what so ever. Can anyone help me locate where this folder is and give me a dummy’s guide to fixing it? I can no longer even access my dashboard on Chrome.
