   my site. They are met with an error message that states: Website With Harmful
   Software Warning.
 * How do we fix this issue?[https://share.google/eWlqWTGl1fHYMI3Vv](https://share.google/eWlqWTGl1fHYMI3Vv)

 * The only issue seems to be from Google — see [https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/kurleedaddee.com](https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/kurleedaddee.com).
 * “Chrome has built-in safety features to protect you while you browse — like Google
   Safe Browsing, which recently found harmful software on the site you tried visiting.”
 * Install a good security plugin (like WordFence, for example) and scan your site.
   If you think you’ve been hacked, get a fresh cup of coffee, take a deep breath
   and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement 
   some (if not all) of the recommended security measures

 * If you are unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations
   that can clean your sites for you. Sucuri and Wordfence are a couple.

 * Hi Karl, 
   It looks like your website has been hacked long enough to get your 
   URL blacklisted. If you go to Quttera, [https://quttera.com/detailed_report/kurleedaddee.com](https://quttera.com/detailed_report/kurleedaddee.com),
   you can see some of the problems.It’s difficult to see the exact extent of your
   problem without accessing your WordPress admin. The most likely culprit are old
   and un-updated plugins and themes – or WordPress itself. If you have used any“
   nulled” plugins… That’s like installing a hack yourself.At a minimum, the AdSense
   plugin you have installed is problematic. It was removed from the WordPress repository
   in 2024 because of an unresolved security problem.You’ll need to get someone 
   who knows what they are doing to get you up and running. Even then you’ll need
   to get Google to un-blacklist you.
