    Hi guys, does anyone know how I can fix the malware that has penetrated into my blog? Here's what it says when I try to access my blog, youdonthavetoagree.wordpress.com :

    Danger: Malware Ahead!
    Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on youdonthavetoagree.wordpress.com.
    Content from http://www.oocities.org, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.
    Malware is malicious software that causes things like identity theft, financial loss, and permanent file deletion.

    Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is youdonthavetoagree.wordpress.com.

    Have you hotlinked (ie "upload from url") an image from another site? That's the most common way that this occurs. If so, delete it.

    well, for the moment no!. I registrade on webmaster tools from goggle, and i did analyse the page. google did not find anything, but still blocked on chrome.
    And the relinking of photos or videos, i didnt try jet to remove all the pages, it could be a hard work. Do you think that it can be due to linked fotos, still when the fotos are placed at the page for a long time?

    Yes. Obviously from the number of reports we're getting, Google redefined many sites as malware, and this affects you if you have ever linked to them in any way.

    Why would you have so many? Borrowing an image or two sometimes might be OK. Doing it in quantity without acquiring the rights and properly rehosting them could lead you into legal problems.

    Ì´ll be patient.
    Well my blog do not have so much images, but links to youtube or vimeo. My blog is more a video blog. The last post that i uploaded was with an video from Vimeo.
    Do you think it could be due to the video links also?.
    And well i will check all my images.....

    2.-Press F12 to see the HTML mode
    3.-Press cntrl + F (Find) to search the ofected side, there you will see with image are infected. and delete it.
