This is only turning up for PC users running Norton, as far as I can tell, but since it's a popular software it's spreading a bit of a scare about my arts and community oriented web site. Funny thing is, on "safesearch" it comes up clean. It's only when going to it..
How would some sort of virus/toolkit get onto my web site and how would I remove it? I'm a complete novice there, and a bit freaked out at the moment.
I'm pretty sure I only run fairly mainstream plugins..too.

So in other words, it's not easy and will take hours :(
I'm not a happy wp user right now. I have other things to do today and events to cover that need to be posted on this very same "hacked" website tonight.

Update: The problem was a specific file in TinyMCE!! (at least according to my hosting service). Removing TinyMCE has made posting/resizing/aligning images a bit more..challenging, but not impossible. It's really a stop-gap measure until a full re-install can be done later.
