My site got hacked and I have no idea what to do. Someone registers as a user and posts on my blog. I have already removed several mysterious users and I have changed my password twice and someone still logs in. Bluehost said my scripts are infected. I have no idea how to fix that. What can I do. Please help! And also, can I unpublish my site until I figure that out? I dont know how to do that.

This is totally the WRONG forum to post this kind of question -- this forum is for people to show off their sites and ask for feedback. But to deal with hacking see the Codex on Hacked Sites.

@modaepidemic: As well as that link that WPYogi shared, these are a good start for your reading list.
Backup everything now and store that somewhere safe off of your server.
