    Hi, I have just set up a WP site and got a guy to add a few images and a favicon to it but when I try to visit the site my AVG tells me there is an HTML/Framer virus threat and I cannot access the site. I asked the guy who put in the images and favicon and he said he does not know what it could be.
    Any ideas about this please anyone?
    Thanks in advance!

    This may be a fals positive detection or is really a virus.If you don't post the url I think we can't help you.

    MarlouSeg you just need to remove this code.
    If you can't access your website, disable your antivirus, remove the code from your webstite and after enable again your AV and do a complete scan.You can also use malwarebytes to scan your PC.

    Hi Guys, thanks for your help here!
    I can get into admin with no problem but can't locate this script anywhere.
    Any ideas where it would be please?
    Thanks again,
    MS

    Check your footer.php (from wp theme folder : wp-content/themes/yourtheme)
    The code is at the end of this file.

    Thanks Extreme Data and GarrettHeel!
    What had happened was that Google Analytics script had been copied from another blog and mistakenly placed into this one. I should have thought of that but the virus thing really put me off track.
    With kind regards to you both...

    Oh well, here I am again as it seems the old problem never actually went away.
    I'm getting...
    /favicon.ico
    /robots.txt
    coming up as the virus according to my AVG web shield.
    Anyone any ideas as to what this is please?
