    I have created my wordpress blogs on dec 2011. Since then I did not have any issue with it. But now suddenly google listed my both sites as "malware detected". I have not used my site since 2 months. It suddenly happened yesterday. I think it may be some problem from my host provider. What should I do to get rid of this guys?

    Go into your Wordpress admin and check for any updates. You need the latest version installed to patch any security holes. Next, if you're on a dedicated server or vps, run Windows update and virus scan the server. If you're instead on shared hosting, obviously you can skip that part.

    You should let your hosting provider know about this. It shows their server is lack of security and vulnerable to hacks.

    Check your adverts sometimes they are nasty and try to do things like this. Happens all the time on some websites, I just come back the next day after they are stopped the offending adverts. I see you have on the right column the same adverts, like the toilet cleaning one and the dating adverts.

    This issue is getting attention currently
