By the way — so far so good, (after doing the automatic reinstall of WP) but I really should check my plug-ins to make sure they won’t cause a recurrence.
What’s the easiest way to examine the code of plug-ins and what should you be on the look-out for?
I’m a mac user… got it today. Macs don’t normally acquire viruses, but somehow my wordpress got infected anyway….
After much trial and error, I went to TOOLS, UPGRADE, and used the automatic reinstall function to reinstall wordpress 2.8.2
When I reinstalled it, the problem went away. For now. (But I wonder if my plug-ins are corrupted and if this will return.
What’s the best way to fix the plug-ins if they are involved as well? (Are they separate from the main install?) Please advise.
I have only two plugins installed:

In reply to: Can’t Edit: Site Asking for Name and PasswordThe same thing started happening to me today. I’m being asked to log-in when I try to edit a post. (Even though I’m already logged in to the admin site).
I am already using 2.8.2 so I’m not sure what I need to do to clear up this problem.
I’m a bit of a newbie, so not sure how to replace root files, etc.
Can anyone give me fairly detailed directions?I get a popup saying “THis site is asking you to longin. Please provide your username and password.” It lists my domain troutco.com:80 and oddly, a Realm: Magic.
No idea what the realm refers to…
Then it prompts for username and password. (password is transmitted unsecurely). Is this some kind of break-in behavior or an attempt to steal passwords?
HELP! I can no longer edit my block posts 🙁
Appreciate any info anyone can share.
