Hello everyone, i have been notified that my site has a malware bug and so i have taken the following steps.
1. Changed password to [REMOVED BY MOD]
2. Via FTP removed as much of the site that it would allow me to
3. Uploded just a home page only from muse
4. tested - it still seems to be there
Im not sure what else to do, tech support suggested to delete my entire site but I cant do that as I use IMAP email and i dont want to lose all my emails.
Any help would be awesome
The company that told me about it said this...

Hi Rebecca,
I will forward this to our development team for futher investigation.
Normally, if you have removed the previous content and uploaded a fresh copy from Muse, it should be fine. Also, it's a good thing that you've changed your password.
I'll be in touch via the original case you've opened with support, and this forum as soon as I have more details from the development team.
Thanks and regards,

I have the same issue with my Muse website. The site is redirecting because of something in the html export. I couldn't find it, I think it may be something that I have embedded... I have attempted to remove any third party embeds, but the problem is still there.
My host provider has removed the issue on their end, but SEO and search results don't seem to load anything up properly through google search.

If you have accessed the admin part of the website and added content or edited content - Clear in there. This is often caused by mailware and plugins injecting code into the WYSIWYG editors. (Content editor areas)
