I’m not trying to ignore the instructions. I just honestly don’t know what is malicious and what isn’t. Last time I thought I followed the instructions. I deleted everything manually except the stuff I wasn’t supposed to and then preformed an automatic upgrade when the site seemed to be working.
I’m not trying to seem lazy, but I’m just not very adept at this stuff. I really appreciate your trying to help too.
Ok, fair enough.
At this point, you need to assume its all malicious. Dont try to pick and choose.
Lets do this:
Clean out the theme files.
Youre using the defualt theme, sodelete the current theme files off your site and upload new ones (out of the wordpress zip).
Solve that immediate problem. then post back.

Tried. It didn’t fix it. Should I try another manual reinstall?
ok, then the problem is not in your theme.
1. Deactivate your plugins
2. Delete all the wordpress related files off your site except for wp-config.php
3. Reupload fresh files.
Open your wp-config.php and make sure that there is NO malicious code in that.
At that point, you should have all clean files within your wordpress install.
Right?
Thats what I suggested doing above, and that is what is inside all the links I provided.
Thats ONE step of many.

Well, I’ve been trying to do it but now my FTP uploads aren’t even working right (I’ve tried a few clients including GoDaddy’s built in one). They keep shutting down during the upload process.
I thank you for you help and for the security links that I’ll follow when I eventually do get this running, but I think this is going to be a long, tedious problem. I’ve deleted all my files and backed up my content and config files, but this is going to have to wait for later.
Again, thanks for trying.
