    Contact your web host. They should be able to remove it for you.

    I would begin with your hosting company. Contact them and ask for assistance.

    Huh, the hosting company might just help you, but it is you that is responsible for all programs and scripts you install. However, ask them if they can help you resolve this issue.

    First thing is, how is your wordpress blog infected? Track that down and maybe you will find a way to resolve it.

    Another solution would be, to backup your database (or simply export your posts), backup your images and make a fresh installation after you've wiped the entire blog (if you can't track where the infection came from) and make sure you keep your wordpress installation and plugins up to date.

    Contact your hosting company & be sure to uninstall AND delete any plugins/themes that you're not actually using.

    Yes you may contact your hosting provider and it is to ask them if you have the ability to do a history restore in your domain panel, and ask them to walk you through it, or at least send you detailed instructions on how to do this...

    Remember lessons learned from this ordeal...
    - Always monitor your systems.
    - Keep your log files stored longer.
    - back-up your site on a daily basis
    - and of course...keep your WordPress updated and use strong passwords! That’s your first line of defense to avoid these problems.

      Thnx 4 all of Ur replies. I contact my hosting and they boldly said they can't help. So I sat looking for the WordPress files to find the malware code and found it no where. All files R OK. Google webmaster says the malware is in CSS file. I checked it and didnt found anything. Seems I have to delete everything and start from scratch. I am really angry on this. WordPress needs to do something on this. Seems our lovely WordPress is not secure at all.

      Thnx

    A quick way to find out infected files is to check the timestamp of your website files. Check out what files was recently change. Using your Cpanel File manager or an FTP client you can see the latest modified files according to its date.
