Malware on my wordpress.com website?
-
My website (http://exploreraleigh.org/) is hosted on wordpress.com and I’m getting a Malware warning on Google Chrome. I have no idea what’s wrong or how to fix it.
I checked it with Sucuri SiteCheck (http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/?scan=http://exploreraleigh.org/) and it gave me a good review, no malware detected?
Help?!?! :(

This can be caused if you perhaps linked to a site within a post, or hot-linked to an image from a site that Google has flagged as possibly containing malware.
Have you added any images off of the web, or perhaps linked to a site in a recent post or page?

I made a post the other day, and uploaded like 60 pictures to it. I don’t think I put any links or linked any of my images off my site. The one before that I linked to my meetup.com group which I’ve done plenty of times before without problems. To my knowledge I have not linked to any uncreditable website.
Thanks for the help guys!

Hi there, I’m not seeing a malware warning in Chrome, are you still getting it? There is usually a link to “learn more” or “view details” on this sort of Chrome warning, which can let you know which post or link is causing trouble. Let me know, thanks!

Ah, the malware warning appeared after about a minute!
The message says this:
Content from http://www.inc.com, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page.
You’ll need to either remove links to inc.com from your site – including any hotlinked images – or make a complaint to Google that they’ve mistakenly included inc.com on their blacklist.

Thank you, I haven’t knowingly linked to that website. And I’m the only admin for this website. Any help or suggestions as to how I can find that link would be great. Thanks!

My website is no longer showing a Malware warning on chrome. I didn’t change a thing it just no longer shows. I’m not sure why this happened or why it’s fixed but if someone could find out that would be great. I don’t know if it was a google error or what but I’d rather it didn’t happen again and it doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Thank you to everyone who helped!

Hi there, I’m glad the malware warning went away. We don’t have any control over these warnings, since they’re specific to Google’s Chrome browser and generated by Google.
You could go through Chrome’s support channels if you wanted to find out more. There’s a Chrome forum run by Google here:

Good luck!
