SPAM Links in Code of blog

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

My blog desi traveler suddenly is showing 40 + links to viagra, cialis, loans etc in it. I am not sure from where they came or how or even when.

I can see these spam links when I see the " Inspect element" by right clicking but I can not see them inside the blog anywhere.

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.  I did some search on Wordpress but most of the information was too technical for me. I am a copy and paste kind of technical expertise guy.

I deleted my old theme suffusion and am using default 2014 as of now due to which the formatting etc. is gone but the links to spammy sites are still there.

Kinldy help.

Hey Prasad you have a whole body html filled with viagra on your blog Frown Here check this image out > http://prntscr.com/2pitoa

You may have put some widget or free theme in past which has been saved in your wp-content.  You may ask some wp expert for advise in this matter

Thanks Vinay, now I am scared.

Yes I did checked some widgets a few days back, but deleted them as they did not worked. But I am not sure if it is due to them.  

Well I hope we have some Wordpress experts here...

You can visit here > http://www.supportivehands.net/contact/ leave a message saying you are my friend(quote my name) and the supportive will help you out or if you are comfortable with editing, you can open the body part in WP,  search for viagra and delete the full code.
