   Everytime I update or create a new post all the links within the post get hundreds of false hits. These hits do not come from my site as the stats page do not show up this amount of visitors.

   Do I have a virus perhaps? and how would I know.

   Please help me - I am not very up on code so please explain in simple terms.
   Thanks in advance

   do a "view source" on your front page - scroll to bottom and see if anything sticks out

   Hi Samboll,
   Thanks for the reply. What should I be looking for on my source? I looked at the bottom

   <script type='text/javascript' src='http://newgameguides.com/wp-content/themes/arras-theme/js/jquery.cycle.lite.min.js?ver=2.9.2'></script>

   <script type="text/javascript">
   jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

   $('.featured').hover(
   function() {
   $('#featured-slideshow').cycle('pause');
   $('#controls').fadeIn();
   },
   function() {
   $('#featured-slideshow').cycle('resume');
   $('#controls').fadeOut();
   }
   );
   $('#featured-slideshow').cycle({
   fx: 'fade',
   speed: 250,
   next: '#controls .next',
   prev: '#controls .prev',
   timeout: 6000
   });

   });
   </script>

   Does that mean anything to you or should it be there?
   Again thanks for helping me. I just updated an old post and again 50 hits to the links on that post but not from visitors.

   that's all normal stuff.
   look in your uploads folder for stray files that don't belong
   inspect your index.php of wordpress and your theme - also theme's header.php - inspect wp-config.php
   just look for weird looking code

   Hi,

   I checked index.php of wordpress and your theme - also theme's header.php - inspect wp-config.php and do not think there was anything odd.
   Again I am not sure about code but if anyone has more ideas I would be very grateful.

   I ran virus checks on my pc, nothing. I did another post and again the links in the post got 25 hits.

   Thanks
