Sucuri.net malware scanner
I reported before how to detect if your blog was infected with the recent massive hackers attacks on hosting sites, and how to cure it.
As a follow up, here is the easiest way to detect if your blog has the malware injected: Use the sucuri.net free scanner !
Just enter you blog URL including “http://”, press “Scan”, and there you go.
If the “Malware information” tab goes red, this means that -unfortunately- your site has been infected.
Cure the problem immediately as I described in this post.
If you are a technically a bit more savy, in this post I describe a script that verifies the infection and cures it.

Indeed very big thank you…
I was very anxious when someone informed me that my blog was blocked by Avast antivirus because of a malware iframe.I didn’t know what to do, then I googled the issue to come across your valuable blog.I read the tips in the post and proceeded directly to sucuri.net which detected an iframe of a site called blogrankers which hides an iframe of a malicious turkish site gelgit.com.I do warn everyone to avoid mentioned sites.
Thank you again and please consider me as one of your faithful readers.
Thank you for this information. I wondered what those Wordpress alerts meant so I contacted my hosting support. All they told me was that, whenever a change is made, it could trigger an alert – so don’t worry. Then I came upon your blog post and the link to the Scuri free scanner put my mind at ease.
I bookmarked this for future use. Great share!!!
