Also, although I am now able to access my Dashboard (after the Bluehost tech did whatever he did), when I go to wordpress.com where my enhanced stats are, I am still getting an error message up at the top that says “This Site Cannot Be Accessed – Disconnect Site.” What does that mean, and how do I fix that?

Hi wslade – Thank you for that explanation. I have clicked on the link that Google provided in their email to me about the suspected hack (similar to the one above), and I followed their directions up to a point, but after awhile, it was really too technical for me to handle. I don’t know if the problem is fixed or not. Can I contact Google and let them know that my site is returning a 404 page on the spammy links? I also contacted Bluehost, and the tech removed a whole ton of spammy html files (I think that is what he said they were called?), then did a restore from an earlier time. Will that be enough for Google to remove the hack label?

I’ve looked at many of those sites. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Like I said, I am not a computer tech by any means. I need someone who can walk me through some steps in plain English, not computer-speak!

FYI, that’s just a copy-and-paste of some of the Live Traffic feed in WordFence.

Thanks, but after I posted this, I got two emails from Google saying that it looks like my site has been hacked. In my WordFence Live Traffic, Google bots keep trying to access hundreds and hundreds of non-existent pages, all with my website address at the beginning, followed by what looks like retail store spam (vivienne westwood, jill stuart watches, tory burch, etc…)

I tried Sucuri also and it says the site is clean, but how do I get rid of all those spammy links? I followed the directions in the Google email, something about Fetch with Google, and I see pages and pages of the spam.
