[resolved] Virus warning when someone visits our WP site! (6 posts)

    When anyone goes to the site, their anti-virus software blocks the site saying that it is a known exploiting site. The error messages as I can see them (the dialog box from AVG won't expand to show the entire message, even after I drag the boxes bigger):
    File: aberdeenwesleyan.org/wp-includes/js/jquery... Infection: Exploit Link to Exploit Site (type 1...) Result: Object was bloc...
    File: aberdeenwesleyan.org/wp-content/themes/A... Infection: (Exploit Link to Exploit Site (type 1...) Result: (Object was bloc...).

    Any thoughts? This is a church website, and we have people trying to register for Vacation Bible School on our contact form.

    (I accidentally also posted this in another thread, but can't find how to delete that post - so sorry for the double-posting!)

    I visited your site with java script off
    allowing your site to display java brought no warnings.
    allowing sermonplayer.com brought 2 virus warnings
    it is not your site infected but sermon player.com is serving it when the browser connects
    you may want to inform them

    Thanks - I'll see what they can do!

    I appreciate your super-quick response!

    I went to them, and they suggested I remove the player for now, which I did. However, the site is still being blocked.

    They also said that mine is the first complaint they've gotten, so they're not sure what to say at this point...

    I have McAfee on Firefox and did not get a flag when I visited your site.

    you're right
    I'm getting the 2 warnings on your site now - it's about a 12 second delay
    at this point you must assume you are hacked
    here are some links to help you out
