Hi All,
I too have received a google notification saying there’s malware on my website.
But I have no idea what malware even looks like in a website…. so can you please help me find it and tell me how to get rid of it?

Hello, I ran a quick scan on your site and found malicious code on the homepage and a few other pages. You can see the results of my scan here: http://wam.dasient.com/wam/diagnose?URL=travellingphotographers.com&scan_id=21331

You will see what the malicious script looks like on each page. You can also request a full scan of your site from the link above. To get Google to remove the malware warning from your website, please remove the malicious code from all infected pages. Then, request a review of your site from Google webmaster tools.

Thanks,

Ameet

Thank you for your help.

I think I’ve removed it all now by deleting the affected pages and using an old back up I had.

You might want to take a closer look at things again. When I ran a new quick scan through Dasient, there are still multiple pages identified with “suspected” malscripts.

If you haven’t already done so, please scan your local computer with additional anti-malware type products. Many of the web-site hacks these days are the result of stolen FTP credentials that are obtained from the PC used for FTP access to the site. After cleaning any malware that is detected on the local PC, change your passwords before working on the site again.
