Unknown possible phishing link?

When I try to log in to my site, I keep getting redirected to this site (link at bottom of my message) to first of all register a languauge and then provide all my details, like password etc. As my site has recently had malware on it, I am leery of providing this information.

Why am I continually being asked to register a language and provide my details?
The problem comes up as I ask WordPress to search for spam and delete my spam messages on the admin site. I had 170000 spam messages this morning and am down to about 9500. Is there anyway to delete all the messages in one go?

Can I trust this link?
Thanks
Chris

Have you removed malware from your site?
Scan your site for malware: http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/

Is there anyway to delete all the messages in one go?

see if info in this thread helps:

EDITED: Sorry for any duplicate information, Tara posted while I was writing

The link appears to be a WordPress link:

As my site has recently had malware on it, I am leery of providing this information.

The malware itself, or your removal of malware, if in fact it has been accomplished, appears also to have removed part of your WordPress as well. That’s likely why the link is coming up is just WordPress trying to put back some parts it thinks are missing.

However, since your site can be viewed at http://www.treeswithfruit.com/ it probably doesn’t need to run the install again.

I think at this point I would assume the malware still is present and go through the “official” removal procedures.

Remain calm and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

@santeven, no problem. It happens many times!
