 * Previously, a Chinese website kept inserting a malware script into the footer.
   php of the active theme at our website: [http://www.sophisticatesblackhairstyles.com/](http://www.sophisticatesblackhairstyles.com/)
 * I’ve installed several security plugins and this seemed to have worked for about
   a month.
 * Today, I logged in to find that they’ve inserted the same script into our most
   recent post entry. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening?
 * Thank you.

 * You need to clean your database with the [instructions at this site.](http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/06/24/how-to-completely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/)
   And be sure you’re running 2.8.4.

 * I already cleaned my database. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this
   from happening again?

 * The hack might be coming from through your shared hosting. Check with your host
   and see what they say.
