Google has identified my site as having a "possible 3rd party malware problem. So, what in the world do I do? Thanks for your help.

Is the anything unusual happening when you call up your site? JavaScript popups that shouldn't be there, redirects that shouldn't happen, your virus scanner alerting you - things like that?
There have also been cases where ad networks were infected - do you have any ads on the site?
Just speculating here, since without further information, it's hard to tell what the problem is.
bye, Dirk

google will verify site that I have gotten malware off. I have downloaded a security checker for my computer and the hosting company has checked telling me someone had a software that stole passwords and compromised the site.
What I now need to do is go to the front page and put in a google html code. Where would I find the front page on geeklog I tried index.php but I did not see anything that looked like this:<html>
<head>
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="2" />
<title> My title </title>
</head>
<body>
page contents
</body>
</html>
So please tell me where to find that?
Thank you so much for your help.

Look in the /public_html/layout/your_theme_directory/header.thtml file. The contents of that file should look something like this.
Text Formatted Code
{doctype}
<html{lang_attribute}{xmlns}>
<head>
<title>{page_title_and_site_name}</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"{xhtml}>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"{xhtml}>
<!-- link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="{site_url}/favicon.ico" -->
<!-- <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"{xhtml}> -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{css_url}" title="{theme}"{xhtml}>
{feed_url}
{rel_links}
{plg_headercode}
{advanced_editor}
<!-- Load Common Javascript Libraries -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="{site_url}/javascript/common.js"></script>
</head>
<body dir="{direction}">
<div class="header-navigation-container clearfix">
<ul>
{menu_elements}
</ul>
</div>
<div class="header-logobg-container-inner">
<a class="header-logo" href="{site_url}/" rel="home">
<img src="{site_logo}" width="151" height="56" alt="{site_name}"{xhtml}>
</a>
<span class="header-slogan">{site_slogan}</span>
</div>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;">
<tr>
{left_blocks}
<td class="story-container">
<p class="header-welcomeanddate-text">
<b>{welcome_msg}</b><br{xhtml}>{datetime}
</p>
<!-- START OF CONTENT AREA -->
Place your code after the last meta tag and above the </head> tag

Hello:
VPS, or Shared host?
If files were edited and code added, ask the hosting company to check /var/log/messages for ftp access for your account from IPs other than yours.
Your site can be further reviewed for suspicious code at http://unmaskparasites.com/ and Denis' blog at blog.unmaskparasites.com/ contains a wealth of information on compromised sites.
Were HTML files modified? Gumblar
Was .htaccess file(s) modified? stolen ftp passwords or weak file permissions.
What is the domain name and I can have a look? I do this for a living.
"downloaded a security checker" is not very informative. Do you have an up-to-date Anti-Virus product from a well-known manufacturer for your home or primary computer?
If you still need additional help determining who/what compromised your site, I can help.
