 * 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:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/277514](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/277514)
 * 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, [http://www.pixelgenio.com](http://www.pixelgenio.com)
