 * When i view my homepage in “view source” i can clearly see redirects as shown
   below;
 * _[Code moderated. Please do not post hack code blocks in the forums. Please use
   the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * however i cannot seem to find them in any of the files. ive checked all the forward
   facing files such as index.php / header.php / footer.php / functions.php and 
   also checked the plugins for authenticity however this is where my expertise 
   comes to an end.
 * Any ideas on where i should look next?
 * see the redirects in viewsource on my homepage here;

 * I’m sorry but your site has been hacked. You need to start working your way through
   these resources:

   site again.

 * If you want to start a new site, you would need to scrap all of your current 
   content, themes & plugins and start again from scratch. If that’s not what you
   want to do, then you will need to follow the instructions in all of the links
   I posted above.
