  I am having trouble with both of my wordpress sites. Going to either in Safari causes a redirect to a qoogle.com site ..It doesn’t happen in any other browser. I am assuming this is some sort of malware but don’t know the first thing about how to fit it. Can anyone help?

  I am having the same problem, but my site is hosted on wordpress — spiritualwarriorhealing.wordpress.com.

  When you’re on this page: http://spiritualwarriorhealing.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/gurubrahma/ there is a link at the bottom that goes to my personal web site — the link says: Listen to a beautiful version by Jai Uttal. And it should go to http://www.renualdrich.com/RenuAldrich/GuruBrahma.mp4. But when you click on it, google interrupts and says it’s’ a malware site and on the address bar is: http://4safe.in/in.cgi?4&parameter=sf.

  Please help. Many thanks

  @renualdrich – I doubt that your WordPress.com site has been hacked since the problem does not start until you click on the mp4 link to your renualdrich.com site – my Browser kicked back when I clicked on the link – so I think that the Hack is on your renualdrich.com site – that is where I would look first.

  You could also ask the WordPress.com staff to check your WordPress.com site but I doubt they will find any problems, http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Thank you. It’s been fixed. I’m thinking with code injection, etc. it’s best to remember to change your password every month.
