Those Viagra selling sites spam their links everywhere. The links produced this way aren't legitimate, and this is considered by some to be "black-hat" SEO. The anti-virus should ideally block access to the site that engage in such practices, but it's erroneously blocking access to the sites which are spammed. I think that text with those links were posted as a comment on one of the Gooner Ramble blog posts, which probably has been removed by now. But the anti-virus still throws up warnings.

Which is the reason why those links should not be posted here. Some myopic anti-virus may just decide that this site is dangerous.


On closer inspection, that site really is infected. The infection is appending this at the end of the html closing tag.

The infection does nothing else apart from spamming a bunch of invisible links. It's probably safe to visit.

I can't find that tag anywhere. We've had a few spam comments but the ones I just looked at (in the trash bin) don't look like this either, and they always get taken down quickly and automatically by akismet.

Avast doesn't have issues with it. The only adds on there are via google and I can't imagine they would let something like that happen, and thousands of sites would have it if that were the case.

Not sure what else to do. If other people are really still seeing something please let me know.

I'm not sure you understand the severity of it or the meaning of 'infection'. This is not run-of-the-mill comment spam. The Wordpress files have been modified to output that invisible link spam code on the index page of the blog (and probably elsewhere too). View the HTML source of the index page to see it. It's at the end of the source code, after the closing html tag. Either it is in /wp-content/themes/noteworthy/index.php, or it's added via a hook.

Your web space has been compromised. Purge everything and start anew, change all your passwords {including FTP, SSH, etc) and do a security audit to see how they could have got in.

If you really want to see it, you will have to disable Javascript on your browser to see it. The whole thing is encapsulated in a div with id 'hideMeya', and it's CSS is set to "display: none" with Javascript.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I didn't lack the understanding - just found nothing at the time. That included viewing source, searching the html and php files for the offending text, and checking via two browsers (firefox and chrome). Since I found nothing wrong and others told me it was fine, I didn't go looking for hooks.

But I just checked again with IE and now see it.

...Looks like it may have been a plug-in as I removed all we were not using and it seems to be gone now.

Can someone else look again? I'm checking with three browsers now and do not see it, but no longer trust what I'm seeing.
