Naw. I think it was a PHP code exploit. I've done the plugging I can.

Great job, staying up until this time of the morning to fix it. I'd say your boss should double your salary, but you're him.

Buy your next Butcher item through the Jim-Butcher.Com store, and you'll help him do that. ;)

You got it.  :)

Virus intrusion happened again. Scrubbed it out again. This time I've taken a few more steps -- turned off writability of the php files, and made sure PHP *itself* was upgraded to the latest version -- the system my provider stuck me on was on a version of PHP that was a year out of date (5.2.6 instead of the current 5.2.9). 

If the virus crops up again after this, I'll have to consider a multi-day shut-down and a move to a new provider.
