    Hello guys, first of all, i hope this is the right place for my thread, if not please move it to the right one, thanks!

    I have a website: www.wowcast.de and just checked out google search: http://www.google.de/#hl=de&output=...pw.r_qf.&fp=71cc4e807038c86c&biw=1280&bih=699 for ym website (just google "wowcast"). And there says somethings like pharmacy and viagra and some other bulshit.

    I searched for those keywords on my website, but couldnt find them. I have all in One Seo plugin, which is configured to say something completly different.

    Any Ideas what is wrong?!
    Please help :D

    sincerly,
    Philip

    I dont know if you can see the attachment or not but I am guessing this is what you are referring to. How long has this been going on for do you know?
    Seems odd and definitely abnormal of because as you mentioned your site structure does not carry any kind of keywords pointing to that kind of thing

    So guys, it seems it is a pharma hack. I searched all over my website and found some bits of the hack, but not the hole. I am not sure if i will be ever able to make it clean again.

    So i have two options left:
    1. Search for the virus and delete
    2. Use my backup from 1 Year ago, (it has databases and wp). I will save my since then made posts and add them again to my website. I think this will take the least time?

    what do you saym i think option 2 is the way to go

    check your theme in header.php if you find something weird in <meta> part I think that's the problem, also check your database

    You can find it out from header of the site. Some changes must be happened over there.

    Have you recently installed any 3rd party plugin/theme? These pharma sites are included in such plugins/themes and our site gets listed. What contents did you searched in your website files? If the contents are uploaded in the database, replacing the files wont make any good and restoring a year old backup means loosing out last years data too.
