 * CarR,
 * Have you checked the “index.php” for a hack on the root directroy as 1.8.0 had
   a hack.
 * Don’t know if this will help you… this was posted by me in a different thread:
 * The same happend to me yesterday…. unfortunately the install disabled all my 
   database driven sites, Joomla and WordPress, on my shared server. Yesterday’s
   1.8 had an “eval” hack in it and modified/rewritten all the “index.php” files
   in each sites’ root directory.
 * Easy solution is to download a fresh install of WordPress to your computer and
   replace the infected “index.php” file in the root directly with the newely downloaded“
   index.php” file.
 * It’s not enough to delete the “eval” code in the index.php file.. as other parts
   of the php code could have been subtly changed.
 * In my case I did the same for my Joomla sites also.
 * Wish the developer was more forth coming in about this hack!

 * Take a look at the infected index.php code, you’ll see at the bottom some odd
   coding…it’s actually part of the eaval hack coding and it’s encrypted too:
 *     ```
       eval(base64_decode("JGNvZGUgPSAiICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICA
       gICAgICA....AiIiwgJGNvZGUpOw=="));
       ```
   
 * Looks like the hack doesn’t change anything other than the index.php files. I
   hope!
