Infected Website

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I put a ticket in about 5 hours ago and haven't heard anything as of yet. I have some type of spyware/malware, but only on one of my websites. All day yesterday I kept thinking my laptop was infected and ran scans. (I work in the IT field). I had window pop ups all day while working on a post.

Once I got to work today, I was fine until......guess what???? I opened up my website and Pop-ups once again. I am only getting them when my website is open. Both computers are fine and work great until I open this.

I need to finish my post and although I am in the IT field, I am new to Wordpress and do not know how to fix this problem. I had already taken four days off for a little getaway weekend and now I need to get back to the grind.

Ready to put this into action?
