Thank you guys for all your help.

My hosting company had recommended that I re-install. I put it off for a week. In the meantime a work colleague solved the problem for me.

Under general setting, I had entered my website homepage in the filed marked Site Address. I should have put the location of wordpress, when I did that, all worked OK. I can now comment on my blog.

I have had several people with tight security visit my site and no more reports of danger or hacking.

My colleague knew what was wrong because he had done the same thing!!

Thank you

I have just reported it to my hosting company and asked them to check it out. There is a flash slideshow on the first page but it should not be causing such a warning.

Esmi,Can you confirm. Was it when you visited the site or just the blog.

Thank you for that. I will read those articles later. How did you spot it was hacked.

Thanks for that. I did not understand that.

Well, it looks like re-installing has done the trick. I am back in business. Now to be careful what I adjust.

Thanks for your help guys. I am sure it won’t be the last time I need assistance.

The original website was built using frontpage. However, I have now discontinued using frontpage and am using dreamweaver to develop the site. I deliberately installed wordpress in its own directory rather than root to insulate it from any untoward effects of anything else in the site. It was working when I first installed last nite so it must be possible to get it working again. Frontpage is an authoring tool so I can’t see how files in totally different directories would affect wordpress!!

But then again, nothing surprises me with computers!

I have done that but I think I am going to do it again. I even put the blog in a new directory now it is saying there is a problem with the user.php file in wp-includes.

I think I will start from scratch with a fresh copy of wordpress download, put it in a different directory and before all that delete the present folder both on my home Mac and on the website server.

I\ll get this started and let you all know.

Thank you again for your help. 4.00am this morning I lost what little hair I have left!!

There was nothing else in the directory.

I have since had a look at the source code and apparently the install script is not picking up on either logos or the readme document link
the url is https://www.oaktreepix.com/myblog

thank you for your reply.

Ruairi

I have just uploaded the wordpress files again and still getting the same result.

When I check the MySQ database for the blog, no users have been created.

Still bamboozled

Just to add a little more data, this is the google page I get kicked to.
