 * I’m getting a malware warning from Chrome when I try to edit posts in my WordPress
   site. (eg. wp-admin/post.php?post=3229&action=edit)
 * The warning reads:
 * > The site ahead contains malware
   >  Attackers currently on pixelapn.adsprofitnetwork.
   > com might attempt to install dangerous programs on your Mac that steal or delete
   > your information
 * Wordfence scan shows nothing, and a sucuri.net scan didn’t catch it, either.

 * Hi [@blueskysd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blueskysd/),
 * This warning is displayed by Google Chrome, and is part of Google Safe Browsing.
 * Your site was flagged for malicious content -> [https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pixelapn.adsprofitnetwork.com](https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pixelapn.adsprofitnetwork.com)
 * The reason for the flag was stated as “redirecting users to harmful sites”. If
   you can remove any harmful links within your site, you can then request a review
   of a your site from Google.

 * Currently, your site appears to be empty, so what I would recommend are these
   steps:
 * 1. Reinstall WordPress
    2. Install Wordfence 3. Install any plugins you use 4.
   Request a review from Google

 * That link is NOT my site it is something that is attempting to hijack when we
   edit posts on our site.

 * I resolved this by disabling plugins one by one. The problem turned out to be
   a plugin called Praison SEO.
