It has been reported that my website which is using the Catch Resposive Theme had some kind of virus. I have tried it on my own computer and get the same message. “Press Allow to verify that you are not a robot.” Then I backspace I get a “Website Suspended” notice to contact the hosting company. Any suggestions? I recently uploaded the WPForms for Scammer protection.

Hi Randy,

Sorry to hear that your site got a virus. There are many reasons for your website to get viruses like using outdated WordPress core, plugins, and themes. So, I recommend you keep everything updated. Also, it might be due to easy username and password, please use the secure username and password. You can also use Security plugins. WP Forms for Scammer Protection is only for Form, so you might want to use a plugin like Jetpack Security, Securi, or Wordfence. If your site is already infected then it’s better to consult with Security Expert and Hosting server support.

Has anyone seen this graphic popup once they hit Enter to bring up their website? See attached. Sorry, this post does not have an image option. The graphic has an icon image of a man and a bot telling the user to click and verify they are Human.

Hi Randy,

Yes, that image looks like a virus. So, you need to contact your hosting server support and check for the log where that content got added to your site and remove it. Also, change your website hosting, ftp, and WordPress access.
