    I just downloaded wordpress TWICE from the homepage and uploaded it to my server. I’ve been on online chat with my server all morning cursing them out because a fresh setup was infected with spyware.

    Here’s a quick video as to what I’m seeing. I just uploaded a fresh download of wordpress 3.0 from the homepage and it’s trying to redirect me to some spyware site.

    open up the index.php file from the fresh download and the file from the server you just uploaded to and see if there are any differences in code as i can confirm the fresh download is definetely not the issue…

    Is this stopping your wordpress application from running /installing?

    Perhaps the spyware was present in a previous index.php on that site?

    IIANM, that malicious site warning comes from a third party, which then causes your browser to block it? Perhaps it was due to a previous installation?

    Also, check your .htaccess files. They’re the usual suspect in most malicious redirect cases.
