   Hi peeps

   I have a massive redirect virus on my wordpress site, When you go to my site direct (Through you browser bar) it works fine.

   But when you search through Google or Facebook link, it direct to a malware trojan virus.

   If it delete my full wordpress site, and re install my raw files BUT.. still keep the same database, could this resolve the problem?

   My website address is http://www.m anchesterswifts.co.uk

   But do not search this through google, unless you have a virus stopper.

   Thank you

   Danny

   Probably not. Your server was compromised, just re-installing won't change the weakness that let your site get hacked.

   You need to start working through these links:
