Building a website for a customer and as I sent him a link on Skype to the new page, he said he got alerted of a trojan virus. He clicked on the link on Skype and it opened in IE, he sent me a screenshot of the message.



I obviously ran a couple anti virus (wordpress plugins) and they came clear.

Any idea what could be causing it?

Not sure what to tell them.

Here are few steps that you need to do to remove the virus:


Download page to your computer and set it up on your local server
Scan the directory with your antivirus software and delete everything that is infected
Update your wordpress and your themes / plugins
Change administrator password


//but it seems that your contact form is infected. So you can maybe localize the problem and rebuild your contact form.

After all this steps, upload everything in your public_html directory and also upload your fresh and clean database up.

This steps shall do the trick.
