# Can’t complete installation

 * I downloaded WP into my Dreamhost directory a few months ago, but didn’t touch
   it until yesterday. Unfortunately, during that time, Firefox flagged my site (
   www.stephaniegerbig.com) as an attack site.
 * Apparently, my site was a victim of malware, even though there were no pages 
   to infect.
 * I ran several virus scans and uninstalled WP. I was then able to reinstall it,
   but can’t finalize set-up. I get to the page where I input my blog name and email
   address, but when I submit this information, the attack site warning pops up 
   and I get an error message from WP.
 * Several people have told me to submit my site to Google to have it taken off “
   the list,” but I have nothing to submit. No pages have been created. There’s 
   no code to review. I have no site. I’m stuck.
 * If you could provide any guidance, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I’m not sure
   where to turn.

 * as was told to you here:

 * a fresh install of wordpress comes with content. that you didnt add anything 
   to it is of no consequence.
 * delete the files. delete the wordpress tables and start completely over.
 * and guess what — if you use a browser other than FF, you wont get the attack 
   site warning.
 * and unless you intend to actually be a webmaster — point your domain to wordpress.
   com and use their service.
