 * Could someone please advise: I’m new to WordPress, have recently noticed some
   strange spam links (to movie torrent sites) on my lifestyle blog. When clicking
   on the spam links and categories listed, nothing comes up. Strangely, this appears
   differently depending on how my site is reached.
 * When coming to the site via a Google search: i.e. just searching my name “alice
   byron”, or my site “alicebyron.com”, they appear as recent posts, among my actual
   lifestyle posts. But when reaching my site by typing the actual [http://www.alicebyron.com](http://www.alicebyron.com)
   web address into your top browser, they only appear at the bottom of my actual
   posts, as links to spam “previous” and “next” posts. Feel free to search to get
   an idea!
 * Would really appreciate someone’s help on this. Have searched forums to try and
   fix and struggling with all the coding language used as I’m a bit of a novice,
   and not sure if I’ve been hacked a lot. Have started by changing password to 
   a stronger one. Help in more basic terms would be wonderful.

 * Remain calm and carefully follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
