PROGRAMMING

Hi there, I'm helping someone set up a wordpress blog, when I go to the blog and hover over most of the links, isays something weird like http://www.wq32.com/newr.php (and bunch more)

What is going on with this?

Here is the blog in question: Get Wealthy While Getting Healthy

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I just checked it out and can't say that I see any links with that URL in them.

Is there a specific one you can point out, or has the problem been resolved?

Pretty much all of them, when I hover over the title of the blog on the header, it says http://www.wg32(then some more long codes)?

Could it only be doing this on my computer? I've been having some trouble with firefox crashing recently, I ran an adware program today. Said it removed 325 objects.

Also, it is not doing this at any other sites.

  Its worth a try; it seems to other people dont have this problem so all signs point your end :/
  
  [I tried it in Iceweasel, chrome, FF, IE and epiph FWIW - works all the same for me]
  
  Thanks

It is the same for me with IE, should i worry about this? I googled that wq32.com and saw something about a trojan virus or something, but I know nothing about this, where would you recommend I start?

Yes, it sounds like your computer - I've tried in Firefox & Chrome and it's all good.

I assume you have a virus checker? A full system scan is the best place to start.

Another great utility that has saved me a few times is Malwarebytes:

Malwarebytes.org

Best of luck resolving this.

FYI, I tried it on Chrome and it appears good there, weird, I'm still going to run malwarebytes..

Sounds like your Firefox has the problem then - you could always try removing and reinstalling it if nothing else works.
