    Hello, my blog http://www.whatvwant.com is hacked.
    When I type whatvwant.com, it will not display my website. Instead it displays "viagra pfizer 100mg". When i inspect elements i found below code.

    <html>
    <head></head>
    viagra pfizer 100mg
    <body></body>
    </html>

    Can any one tell me how to remove this code from genesis sample theme's header.

    Along with this, when I type http://www.whatvwant.com, website will be opened, but a sentence is being displayed above header. Please tell me how to remove these two codes from my website.

    My hobby is to learn about new technologies and writing technical tips in my blog whatvwant.com

    Hi,

    Cleaning this up is going to be more than just removing code from your theme's header. You have a few options, but before you decide which of these to follow, make a complete backup of everything as it stands now. This includes everything to do with WordPress, server logs, basically the whole website. Keep this backup somewhere because you'll be referring to it later.

    1. Clean the site up yourself if you know what you're doing. This is time-consuming and requires knowledge of how WordPress works, how servers and websites work, and how security works. This is because you not only need to clean this up, but you also need to prevent the same hack from happening in future, and that requires hardening your site or sites if there are subdomains involved, as well as monitoring. If you're not comfortable with any of this, then you need to
    2. Hire someone to do it for you. As I mentioned, this is time-consuming, very technical and sometimes manual work, and can take most of a day assuming the hack's a simple one. It also includes the hardening and monitoring I mentioned earlier. I provide this service, and you can contact me or reply to this thread if you have any questions or need further help.
