 * Hi,
 * My site ([http://leanitup.com](http://leanitup.com)) was working completely fine
   yesterday, and when I woke up this morning it was slow, the layout/structure 
   was altered, and weird code had been injected into the footer.php file.
 * Now I can’t even load it up.
 * Has anyone had a similar issue and know what the best course of action is to 
   fix it? Thank you SO much in advance.
 * Bryan

 * Anything less will probably result in the hacker walking straight back into your
   site again.
