 * Dear Janet Z.,
 * if you suspect that your website has been hacked, I strongly recommend you to
   change ALL your passwords (WordPress login details, FTP, MySQL database connection).
   You can use the [Wordfence Security](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/)
   plugin to detect the infected files. This plugin also helps to protect your website
   from hacks and malware. [Here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress)
   are another suggestions how to improve security of a WordPress website.
 * Best regards,
    Tomas Toman

 * Tomas,
 * Thank you for that. I did the Wordfence Security scan and it showed no threats.
   I spoke to my hosting company that insisted it had to do with my browser even
   though it happens on other browsers. I caught the url that pops up between my
   website and the site it redirects to. It’s this:

 * Try a few good local malware removal tools like:
 * – Malware bytes anti malware
    – Reason Core Security
 * In general, the issue is local not on network/host side. You could do a full 
   backup swing of data, clean that and then reupload to your webserver. Given that
   databases are just text and can’t be infected.
 * Anyways, any professional company host has much stronger than that anyways so
   any virus wouldn’t stand 2 seconds in a decent hoster/vps/dedicated server environment.
 * If you host it yourself, use linux and nod – with good iptables – would be a 
   good start 🙂
