Malware on my website

That’s part of a css file.
It’s for a drop down menu and someone is just commenting the original author. I believe. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

I do not believe it’s malicious.

It’s in the template code. It stands out as really different.

You can Google:
Son of Suckerfish

And maybe verify that your theme uses it. But I don’t believe that particular part is malicious.

Yes, I think you are right. I think I should abandon this site and start again.

That you know of, is there any way to change my domain name without incurring exactly the same start up costs again. The stigma is attached to the domain name now as well as my blog.

If you’re going to rebuild it, just give Google some time to start crawling your site again. It will take time. Or better yet create an account with their Webmaster Tools:

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=sitemaps&passive=1209600&continue=https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/&followup=https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

Most website owners should create an account with them even if they don’t already have one. It’s a great service and may also inform you on what particular reason and/or file(s) is causing them to list your site as malicious.

But a new domain name is not that expensive, we’ll it shouldn’t be. If you really want a new domain name, contact your current host requesting their prices (they’re usually under $10/yr, but prices fluctuate and I haven’t purchased one in awhile).

The domain name is about $10, as you said, but there’s the ‘Purchase Web Hosting’ cost which is quite a bit. Do you know if there is a web hosting cost for each domain? I bought 2 years of hosting for my blacklisted one and have only had it for a few months. I am wondering if I can transfer the time left to a new one. I guess I will have to ask them.

You don’t HAVE to do it that way. If you want to start over, you can keep the domain and loose the blacklist pretty easily.

If you really want to, just delete your WP database and ALL your files and folders.

Now take a deep breath. Ahhh. Okay, change your passwords on your webhost. All of them. Yes, you STILL need to do that.

Then just upload a new version of WordPress and have a party.

Thanks for your reply, Ipstenu. I am still thinking about what to do. Thanks to all of you who have helped me.

I now have a new domain and have started a new blog (nothing there yet though)but now I want to close my old blog and I can’t seem to access my admin page of it any more. How do I close it?
The old domain which holds my blog is redirecting to my new domain and I am afraid it might bring the problems with it so I really want to kill the old blog.
