can't seem to kick malware. Need help

    My wordpress website has been attacked by malware and I have tried multiple times to scan for it both by downloading files by FTP and using AVG and by online scanning tools. They say it is clean, but the google blocking was still happening (even after sending a google webmaster tools request) and tonight my webhost decided to suspend the account until the malware is removed.

    I am not a coder, more of an amateur designer who dabbles in code when necessary. So I don't really know what I am doing and I've spent a lot of time on this and can't even find where it is wrong. (I also checked the htaccess file that most of the DP threads with wordpress malware suggest).

    Any suggestions would be great.

    try to scan with other anti malware, or manually scan then delete the suspected files, don't forgot to make backup

    If your site is worth investing in, you may want to hire some pros. Check out these guys: http://sucuri.net

    Good luck! - Scott
