apparently one of the 5 sites I host for friends has malware on their wordpress install. hostmonster deactivated all the domains on my account and sent me a list of the 200+ files that "may" be compromised, many of which are css and js files they said are likely "false positives" and are not part of the problem.
now I have one of three options: sort through the list of files and remove the malicious code, delete and re install each of the sites and try to recover as much content as possible, or pay them $250 to do it for me. paying them to recover the files that were working properly yesterday seems like extortion.
there goes my week...

- I've done this. Look for a file that was recently updated which does not make sense to have been recently updated. Look in that file for the malware.********
- Then I used Dreamweaver to Search All on the entire site files for a link that was a part of the malware. It didn't actually take that long.********
