Hi
I had no problems getting on to my blog yesterday but today I have been unsuccessful due to a pop up message alerting me of a possible Malware risk.
I flushed my DNS files - this had no effect
I have updated my machine to latest virsons - this had no effect
I have run a virus scan on my hard drive - this had no effect
Other people using Windows can access my blog however I cant - I am using a mac.
My blog link is http://www.fablephotos.co.uk/wordpress
The message that comes up is the same as the one on this link http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?287104-Thomas-Distributing-site-distributing-malware
I need to know how to remove it as I cannot get into my blog to repost
Hope you can help
Thanks

I'm on windows and for me the site works fine. Usually this kind of problem does mean you are infected by some sort of virus or malware. So flushing dns etc doesn't help. Try installing another virus-scanner, disable the one you are using now, disconnect from the internet and do a full scan, see what that does.
Hi, im having same problem, someone put on a counter i cant find to get rid of it..What is a good anti virus/virus scanner for my site? Thanks..

There's a very good chance that the problem you guys are encountering is related to the TimThumb vulnerability. This vulnerability effects a number of WordPress plugins and themes.
For information on how to clean it up see this thread. Ipstenu has some very helpful tips in there.
There's a little more information on the vulnerability itself here.
