Thank you so much for your help. Does this mean my site was hacked? Should I change my passwords?
I think it would be safest to assume that your site has been hacked, yes.
My website Pubbal.com will not load … ?? Check it out and let me know what you think could be the problem and how to fix it asap… lots of posts on site, seems clogged.

Ah, it turns out that Bluehost moved my site this morning to a new server and it is still propagating. It was loading very slowly before, so maybe that’s why McAfee blacklisted me. They are the only ones who have me as blacklisted – I’m not that way on Google or Norton Antivirus and that scan says I have no malware.
Well, that’s a new one. I’ve never seen a site being shown as blacklisted becuase it was being moved. Wait until the move is completed and then re-scan the site.
Okay, so my website has all propagated now after moving to the new server, but many of my template images are not showing up. This happened when I originally went to WordPress from Blogger and I had to change one line of code in the .htaccess file. I just checked and the htaccess file on the server is exactly the same as the original one I uploaded, however, a new one has been added that I did not put there – .htaccess.ORIG.1. Do you think this could be the hacked file and why I’m blacklisted? Should I delete it?
And I’ve found that ALL the images that start with my temporary domain – 74.220.219.53/~mymerrym – are broken and there are tons of those. I used that domain when I first was building my WordPress site before I moved my blog over from Blogger. Is there a way to find and replace this “74.220.219.53/~mymerrym” with “mymerrymessylife”? That would fix all the broken images.
Just having a convo with myself here – for anyone else who needs to do a sitewide search and replace function – this plugin worked great for me and now all my images are no longer broken! http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace
