 * So the problems with Blackhole Exploit Kit have shown up again, after a week 
   of no signs. Visitors have sent me messages about the warnings they got, and 
   I have no clue how to clean the site. I checked Htlacess file as well as style.
   css and found nothing that I would suspect.
 * Noticed also that the virus often shows up in category pages.
 * I run all the latest, updated timbthumb and etc. Don’t know if there is any more
   info you need for to track the virus?
 * Site:[ Dirtysoundwaves.net ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blackhole-exploit-kit/page/2/www.dirtysoundwaves.net?output_format=md)(
   can be risky, even though I visit it everyday)

 * I think it’s gone, removed both from footer and index. And the site works.
 * Now how can I check if the site is clean?
    AVG shows only result from reports
   by their users.

 * i am using the Imbalance theme and my website – [http://www.pierrotphoto.co.uk](http://www.pierrotphoto.co.uk)
   went live about four weeks ago. Over the last two days one of my American friends
   have said that she can’t access one of my categories/page – Cromer fancy dress
   because its being blocked by her anti virus. She is accessing it via a link i
   have on facebook (which is my web address that I typed in as – [http://www.pierrotphoto.co.uk](http://www.pierrotphoto.co.uk))
   Currently she is the only person who has informed me of this problem – have had
   over a 1000 page views.
    I trust her judgment and I am NOT a wordpress expert–
   self taught and a struggler!! I have tried to follow the discussion above but
   uncertain what to look for in the index, footer and header. No indication of 
   Any help. guidance will be of great interest. When the US wakes up – i will try
   and find out the anti virus. She is using AVG free version Just spoken to her–
   the issue appears to eminate from the typed link i have in my facebook – Pierre
   Butikofer All other access appear to work – ie directly or via twitter
 * Any help will be gratefully accepted. Hope I have been relatively clear
 * Cheers

 * Hi Pierra, I*m happy to help. According to AVG, your site should be pretty safe?
