   Hi. I think my site quietwanderings.com has been hacked. When I type the address into a browser the page loads but then continues to load and eventually redirects to a spam site. It doesn't happen every time I go into it though.

   I've spoken to my host (blue host) and they have assured me there is no 'redirect' code. I am using the latest version of wordpress.
   I have no idea what to do and I don't know a lot about coding and php. Can someone please help - I am losing so much traffic from this?

   Thanks so much,

   Cherina

   There's not an easy answer if your site got hacked. The only decent solution is to restore from backup since it can take a lot of work to weed through the files and database to remove malicious code. Is Google black-listing you?

   I clean up a lot of hacks, and it usually takes half a day or more. Contact me if you need this worked on.
