  Yes, they put a hash leaf and a brazilian flag there, with some rock music!

  Well anyways, I looked at the cached site in google, and copied the source code from there minus the google stuff at the top.
  Pasted this into the current defaced index.htm file and managed to removed the damage.

  However, none of my links work on my main menu.
  I’m no genius with php etc, but anyone have an idea what could be wrong and a possible method of rectifying it?

  Site: [link removed]

  Thanks a million,

  Emmett

  Timethief, with all due respect.

  My site is not an “attack site” i’ve just scanned it with urlvoid, and it has come back clean from EVERY security site out there.

  Can you please elaborate?

  PS – I’ve started a thread over at wordpress.org fingers crossed :(

  If Timethief clicked on the link and got a warning, then that is why she would have reported it so no one else would have possibly gotten infected.

  Fixed. Reinstalled WordPress and it resolved itself, sometimes the simplist solutions are best!
