    healthproblog's suggestions can only help after you've cleaned out your site.. but your about page seems fine now though. Could you share what the issue was if you've figured it out? Is sitelock's trust shield still inaccurate?

    First of all, find a hosting that offers malware protection. Your current host doesn't. This should solve future issues and help clean your site.

    After you migrate, make sure to update all scripts to the latest version and then ask your host for a malware scan from their end. Providers typically has more tools to scan with so, their scan should be able to detect any remaining malware on your account.

      Find hosting that provides protection, or engage malware protection yourself. Whichever hosts you choose to go with that doens't offer a WAF add-on, get WAF for your site separately. Blocks out attacks from the most common to the hardest to detect. Don't trust yourself or your site lock trust shield to catch intrusions
