    The comedian, Steve Martin, used to have a routine where he said he bought a book entitled, “How to make a million dollars and not pay taxes.” The first sentence in the book was, “First, get a million dollars.”

    That’s how I feel about the advice given in this forum about cleaning up a hacked blog. Everyone was very nice in steering me to all the appropriate posts and articles on the subject, but they basically all said the same thing:

    1) Clean out the malicious code from your blog.
    2) Upgrade to the latest verison of WP.
    3) Add security features to your blog, so you don’t get hacked again.

    Well, I did #s 2 and 3, but nobody really explains how to remove the malicious code from your blog (#1). So now I have a fully updated WordPress with security features installed, but with the same malicious code in it.

    I think removing the malicious code from my existing blog is beyond me. What should I do? Is there a program that will remove the code for me?

    Thanks for any help.

    The problem has been resolved and I’d like to give my heartfelt thanks to figaro. He fixed it. I feel a bit incompetent, but I learned something. He said he fixed it by setting my PermaLinks back to the default.

    So, the problem is resolved and thanks to everyone, especially figaro, who took the time to help me. It is appreciated.
