HTML/FRAMER virus alert from AVG
I found the HTML/FRAMER virus had infected this site. It has been eradicated!
For those interested, the following code (commented for security) was inserted into the main index (index.php) by some hacker. For those of you with WordPress blogs I suggest you check you index.php file, the malicious code is inserted at the end on index.php. Other forms of the virus encode the iframe attack.

Hello, woh did you get rid of it. I have the same problem.

I opened index.php with the theme editor, and simply deleted the php code described in the article. The malicious code appears at the very end of the php file, at least for me. Seems like many people are getting this as an encoded bit of php. There should not be any encoded portions of legitamate WP themes.

I did that too, but it keeps re appearing… is really bad. I scanned my pc with anti malware and it seems that I had some keyloggers and some other html virus that damaged my sites.
I hope that this time I will get rid of them forever…

my sites suffered this too. More than 10,000 files affected, including .php, .htm, and .html on my entire server. Imagine that. Luckly for me i found a search/replace script that saved me. this damn thing got my site blocked in google, displaying warnings to users.
