This is a quick post that I hope you will share, like, and retweet.
There are certain examples of malware that are extremely malevolent and hard to git rid of:
Thousands of sites have been blacklisted by Google due to infection with the malware below.
Hidden in the WordPress plugin, Slider Revolution, the SoakSoak.ru malware campaign is particularly dangerous.
Check your blog to see if you have this plugin installed.
Slider Revolution comes installed as part of WordPress themes sold through the Envato and Themeforest marketplaces, so you may not have installed it personally.
You can use this free resource from Sucuri to check your blog to see if it is infected:

Hope your blog is not infected!
Since this blog has been victimized by malware in the past I now use Sucuri's malware detection, cleanup and prevention services
I pay for the "Premium" level of coverage, but since you can alternate websites to be monitored, "Premium" actually can cover more than one website/blog at a time.
Highly recommended!
