wanderingbedou,

Thank you for that confirmation. So relieved it got fixed (permanently hopefully). Thank you for that helpful link. I will take security more seriously now!

Thanks to all for your help!

I went through my files and couldn’t find any link to the website/ad being shown.

Within the last 2 days, I updated WordPress (I know I should have done it a while ago) and changed the theme.

I installed 2 security plugins that scanned for malware as recommended in that FAQ and they found nothing.

However, in my plugins I DID find a plugin called Boggle Woggle Adsense. I do not remember installing such a thing. When I tried searching for it on WordPress, it couldn’t even find it. When I tried to deactivate it (and then delete it), I got an error at first, then it worked second time.

After deleting it I have refreshed on and on and I can’t see it anymore. Can any of you guys confirm?

I really do appreciate the help from all of you by the way.

Mark: Like I said, they randomly show up. 90% of the time they are not there, but they do show up randomly on random pages. I do not think it is my computer as it was my friend who brought it to my attention on her computer. I didn’t know what she was talking about until I randomly saw it the next day on my computer. I checked with my host (hostgator) and they state they don’t put up any ads either.

Really odd :S
