 * I have a blog running using the free WordPress blog tool provided by my host 
   Hostmonster. Yesterday, my blog was infected by the Blackhole Exploit virus. 
   My host, Hostmonster, is absolutely no help whatsoever in fixing the problem 
   even though I do not own the code or even know how to access the code. (nor can
   they assure me it won’t happen again?!)
 * Can someone please point me in the direction as to how to remove the virus?
 * Thank you.
