    Someone told me my site was being flagged by symantec as a security risk. They showed me where the malicious code was and I've gone thru all my files and I think I have deleted the malicious code.

    Is there anyway to prevent this from happening again? Is there a plug in that protects against this?

    My WP version is 2.6.5

    Bluehost said to upgrade wordpress----is there a really easy was to do this as I'm not very tech savvy.

    Thx, Link

    There are a number of things you can do to increase the security of your blog, but there aren't any plugins that will "lock it down" for you. Do a Google search and you'll find a lot of info.

    Upgrading is pretty simple. This page explains it pretty clearly.

    THT,
