I know from bitter experience that a hack like that can take a lot of work to clear out. I had a case or two in the past where they not only uploaded a load of files, but inserted code into existing files (including .htaccess). It was a real pain in the arse. He should be notching up the hits though - his News page recycles every three seconds!! :) And a very Happy New Year to you Kirk.

The site (when going to the news section) now states it's in the middle of relaunching and has taken down all sorts of files. By the way...Happy New Year, Richard.

That should do the job. Having said that, I still can't find the feed for the infected site. I am still getting regular warnings and it is really, really annoying. I'm not worried about infections as Avast won't let me near the site. Fuck! Just had two more alerts. I presume you have tried ‘Feed settings’ -> Unsubscribe? That should do the job.
