   That sounds like a hack. Try:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

   If you don't mind can you share what version of wordpress you were running when you got hacked?
   What is the code that is being inserted? Is it a <script src tag at the bottom of each post?
   We were also getting hacks on wordpress 3.0.1, just upgraded to 3.0.2 but not sure yet if that resolves the issue.

   That's now 2 versions behind the current version. The best protection against hacks is to always keep WordPress up to date.

   can you describe the hack in more detail, does the code get inserted inside all your posts? or do your wordpress files get infected? what does the hack code look like?

    could be a plugin, or after they hacked you they might have left behind a hack inside one of the plugin files. Check that you don't have hacked entries in your wp_options table and that your plugins don't have any hidden base64 or eval code snipets in them. usually that's where the hacks are hidden.
