A malicious thingie was appended to the code of some thing on various pages and such.

This sounds like me in half of the meetings I attend for work.

UPDATE:

In the past couple of months various malware issues/warnings began to resurface, indicating that the initial cleansing (cleared by Google as legit) was insufficient.  About a week ago, I decided to post about it in a thread on the badwarebusters.org forum.  (Not to be confused with the badseedb_busters.org forum.)  Some of the responses indicated that the same malscript was still present on hundreds of pages, mostly in the /images portion of the site. 

A gentleman from WeWatchYourWebsite responded with some good tips on how to clean it out en masse, but he also offered to do a full cleaning himself if I provided FTP access.  The fee for the services was posting an update in the forum thread to tout the hopefully positive results.  As it turns out, this guy is clearly some kind of hero/saint.  Within 24 hours, he downloaded the entire site, including 10 gb of /music files, did a full backup that he would provide if something went wrong, and then cleaned out any malscripts found anywhere on the entire site.  He e-mailed me hourly with updates on his progress. 

When thanking him for his efforts, he said it was "all in a day's work" and thanked me for the "opportunity."  He is a crusader for good in an increasingly dreary world.

If anyone ever has issues with a hacked site, contact these wizards ASAP.

It appears that some cretten(s) have launched another attack on Recidivism.  I am working quickly to eliminate the problems and hope to clear out this disgusting filth in the next few days.  The cleaning will be celebrated with a full recap of the 5/25/10 3rd Annual Best Show Awards show.  I've been writing a few words a day for the past five months.

Better carefully honed than rushed.
