    Check your .htaccess file. Sounds like a rewrite hack.

    What version of Wordpress were you running? What plugins did you have installed on the website.

    Keeping a website up-to-date with the latest versions of any script or plugin, it may seem like a hassle. But really, it is a whole lot easier to practice good security before, rather than have to try and clean up a hack after its already happened.

    When you FTP in your account, you should see a .htaccess file in your public_html folder. You can download that file and then open it with notepad to view its contents. If the malware is redirecting from there, then this may be easy to fix. However, if the redirects are embedded in your database, this can be much more complex to fix.

    Ask your webhost to disable symlink function.

    Definitely sounds like .htaccess rewrite, which is very common.
