Sure, blocking his IP may help, but it’s no substiutte for plugging the hole with a WordPress update .

If you can’t find it in the database, using PHPMyAdmin, i’d be surprised, but yes, page by page I guess…

I meet the same problem. I already hold back this IP, Does it works?

And I can’t find the code in my database. Is that means the only way I find the code is check the post one by one?

Many Thanks!

I’m glad it helped…

The other thing that’s really necessary is to upgrade the blog software too. The blog I wrote about in this post ended up getting attacked again within a week, because they skipped that step.

OOps, i just tried to go to your sie, and see that Google is still warning users about you…

This article will help you get that warning removed from Google…

THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving the specific code to search for. I’m not a programmer, and had been going crazy with this Google warning for a week before finding your post. Today I was able to remove the code AND get on Google’s good graces once again!

I wrote my own tale as well, and gave you a nice mention. (the more we write about it, the easier it will be for the next victim to find the solution!) http://www.butterhomes.com/blog/index.php/google-warning-removed/

Best regards, Chris B.

To be very true, I am shocked to know that because I have just installed wordpress on my 2 new sites. Thanks for the nice tips though to save ourselves from such malicious code.

as in, someone elses site? If you have no local access to the files, you mean? Hmmm, I’m not sure. McAfee Site Advisor maybe? Anyone else know?

Is there a way to automatically scan all pages of a site for a virus ?

I also use the No Script plugin for Firefox. While I scan my own stuff, I don’t always trust others.

Yep, you’re absolutely right, and I didn’t even think of that obvious solution… Thank you.

It makes perfect sense, rather than looking through post after post. – I hope I never get a chance to try it though!
