Infected With a Wordpress Virus, Again

Apprently I left some write permission open on Wordpress and I once again again, shortly, infected with a Wordpress Virus.  When I wokeup this morning I saw that virus scripts had be injected into my wordpress template. 

So how did I remove this wordpress virus?
1. I made sure I had fresh copies of Wordpress. 
2. Then looked in the template folder of my wordpress theme and check the index.php file.  The file had been infected with a virus script at the end of the file.  I deleted this script and disabled all write permissions to this file.
3. I made sure that this couldn’t happen again, by checking how I was infected the first time.

Yes you can get a virus on wordpress. Sometimes because you have access your ftp when your computer had a virus.  Hackers are scanning the web constantly for files they can infect.  Make sure you are protected!
