How do I get rid of the malware that has infected my blog?
-
My blog has recently been infected with malware (bioproj.sabr.org). I deleted my most recent post in an effort to get rid of this malware, but it is still infecting my blog (ondeckcircle.wordpress.com). What do I have to do to get rid of it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I do not get a malware warning using Firefox 19. When you get the malware warning there’s a link in the warning you can click. When you click it you get information that you can use to trace down what you uploaded into your blog (usually but no always images) that is causing this issue.

I want to publicly thank timethief and macmanx for helping me out with my malware problem. Due to their help and support, I was able to fix the problem relatively easily.
Thanks so much! -
You’re welcome!
If that ever happens again, you can search through the content of all of your posts, pages, and comments via their sections in your blog’s Dashboard.

That’s great news. You’re welcome and best wishes.

Well, hopefully, I won’t ever have to do that. Sounds very time-consuming!
Not really. :)
In this case, I just went to the Posts section of your blog’s Dashboard, searched for bioproj.sabr.org, and found one result.

I’m getting the same notification via Chrome on my blog thesuaz.wordpress.com; malware “www.tokyohive.com”.
I used the search function on my dashboard (top right correct?) and nothing came up under posts and comments. Any ideas?
-
I used a google search as well and couldn’t find that on your blog. I’m wondering if maybe you tweeted the link and it was on your blog for awhile in the sidebar Twitter widget, and Chrome flagged it then and hasn’t re-evaluated since?
-
How do I get them to re-evaluate though?! This happened over the last 2 days… I posted and visited the blog recently with no problems.

The link is in the post titled “Who Are You Kyary Pamyu Pamyu”
You can find it by searching for tokyohive.com in the Posts section of your blog’s Dashboard.

ahhh I see, I was searching in the wrong section! Awesome, opened it in Safari and deleted the link. Excellent, just refreshed the blog – all set! Thank you macmanx!
