   how can I remove it? Page is:

 * Hi [@rynd2it](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rynd2it/),
 * That URL is not a page on your site which is why you can’t find it in the dashboard.
   It’s an external domain, and the alert means something is making your browser
   reach it while you’re on your site. Usually that is caused by malicious code 
   injected into your site, or a bad browser extension/adware on the computer you’re
   using.
 * Try to open your site in a private window with extensions disabled, or on a different
   device. If the alert disappears, the problem is likely on your computer, so check
   your extensions and run a malware scan there. If it still appears, your site 
   is likely compromised.
 * Then try to scan it with Wordfence or Sucuri SiteCheck, and ask your host to 
   search your files and database for “dsadasdagfaafafas”. Common hiding spots are
   your theme’s `header.php/footer.php/functions.php`, any “header and footer scripts”
   plugin settings, and recently modified files in wp-content.
 * Once the cleanup is done, reinstall WordPress, your plugins and theme from fresh
   copies, delete anything unused or downloaded from unofficial sources, check for
   admin users you don’t recognize, and change all your passwords (WordPress, hosting,
   FTP, database).
 * If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, your host’s support team or a 
   malware cleanup service can handle it. This guide is also helpful: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/)

 * Thank you for the comprehensive reply, I have installed Wordfence Free version
   and will use it to scan the website when the intro period is up. However, I cannot
   at this time, afford to upgrade it to Premium as that would double our hosting
   charges is way over budget. As soon as the scan is done I will report back the
   results
