        Start by making sure all of your WordPress themes, plugins, etc... are all up-to-date. It might also be a good idea to re-install if you have a backup of everything (including the database).

        I'm not sure what is flagging as Malware, but it also might be a good idea to perform searches on the names of all of your plugins/themes used to see if any have been related to Malware in the past.

        • My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.
