  My blog seems to be hacked or infected with a virus that creates a yellow box that says Loading and when clicked seems to install malware. How can it be de-infected.

  This happens on all browsers, and even after clearing cache and cookies.

  Kind regards

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Edit this post:

  Switch the editor to Text (=code), delete everything that follows “See you there.”, click Update.

  Did you copypaste the content from another source?

  Brilliant, thank you very much justpi – that seems to have done the trick. And I’m impressed by the speed of your response.

  I don’t believe I pasted the content from anywhere else. As you can see I wrote it in March, and usually I write straight into the blog. I’ll watch out for it in future, though.

  Deleting what I suggested revealed that there’s a similar thing in an earlier post. So edit this post too:

  Switch the editor to Text, scroll down to the bottom of the content, delete everything that follows this:
