 * I have the latest version of wordpress running, and all my plugins are up to 
   date. I contacted my hosting company and they suggested checking all posts and
   pages ( which I have done) and then searching through the MySQL database. So 
   far I have found nothing.I ran Securi and it also found nothing, but I am being
   flagged as having a hacked website on Google. Can anyone suggest any other steps
   that may resolve this?
