IS IT A VIRUS?: can’t edit-comments, people can’t post comments, also spam

    Hello,

    I am having trouble with my blog at easylawofattraction.com.

    A few months ago I started getting lots of comment spam. You can see the content of the spam if you check the blog. Lots of mention of the word “mammaria” and “gold”…

    Now what I also noticed around this time was that I could not log in to alter comments on my site anymore. Whenever I would go to edit-comments.php, it would give me a 404 error, even though the web page is clearly there.

    Also, people are not able to comment on my blog anymore. When they try to the page says: “could not open socket”

    Regarding the comment spam, I got the wordpress plugin that makes the commenter fill out a captcha. So I get no more spam. :) But the other problems I mentioned above are still there.

    Does anyone know what this is? Is it some kind of virus maybe?

    Any help would be really really appreciated.

    All the Best,
    Alex

    Sorry, this is the support forum for blogs hosted on WordPress.COM the program we use here is very different than the downloaded one. As your site is self-hosted, please visit the support forum at http://wordpress.org/support/

    The difference between COM and ORG is explained in the two stickies at the top of this forum.

    Cheers
