One solution is to delete ALL folders & files in your wordpress site but save the WP-Content Folder & wp-config.php file. Upload the new wordpress files and run the upgrade utility in your admin login area.
In essence this is how you manually upgrade your site
However sometimes your theme files could also be infected so running an upgrade would not help.

Another solution, and more proactive one is to make sure your files are secured and antivirus in place.  I did the above solution but also installed these two plug-ins.

WP Security Scan
A robust plugin that secures your files, advises on read/write permissions, login lockout function, and more.

Antivirus WordPress
Essentially this scans all your important pages and lets you know if theres any malicious or foreign code. You can then go to the relevant page and remove the code.

Everyone else? Allow me to recommend a few companies.  The first two I can personally testify to their excellent service and competitive pricing.  You get what you pay for and the $1.99 rubbish from the so called companies, well that can only end badly.

Webapps – www.webapps.co.za – Autostyle is hosted with these guys, nuff said.  I have been dealing with Webapps since 2001 and they continue to impress me. From bulk sms, email, hosting, domains etc etc.  Yes they aren’t perfect and over the years our Autostyle site has had its fair share of technical issues and downtime. Their dedication wins me over everytime. Show me a South African web host who will give you support and get your site to optimum performance at 11pm on a Saturday night?

They do offer cheaper packages but I’ll recommend them for high traffic websites. Autostyle.co.za pushes out nearly 200 gigs a month in traffic.

MediaTemple – www.mediatemple.net -  USA based guys. Apparently all the hotshot ad agencies, brands, designers and new media gurus host with these guys. They have a fantastic, easy to use administration panel too.  $20/month.  I googled for some discount vouchers and paid the year upfront which brought my monthly cost to less then $15.  Tons of space, a shedload of bandwidth and as many domains as you wish.  Very slick, very reliable and topnotch support.
Perfect for startup websites, blogs and online stores.  Many wordpress clients of mine are running on MT.

Hetzner – www.hetzner.co.za – Local guys who claim to have German efficiency. Personally I have not hosted anything with them but good friends of mine have, and no complaints, downtime or anything negative directed to them. Prices seem very competitive too.

There are dozens of other leading web hosting companies locally and overseas. However I have not used them so will not vouch for their service or value.

Perhaps add your preferred host in the comments below?

a) i know his family, b) it concerns our company,  c) his bigger brother is also on facebook,

And no, our place has not gotten worse as per the message. We continue to dominate in our industry, just moved to a stunning new showroom, winning awards and much more.   However, if you are a slacker – yes life has been more difficult as our processes have become more and more efficient and anti-laziness. The face that this guy looks forward to wasting another year in varsity angers me. Rather take that money and start a business or help a less fortunate student.  Varsity students, rich or poor, should be made to pay for their tuition or pay back the amount once they start their careers.  Relying on daddy is not going to last forever.

I have blurred out names & faces to preserve some sort of reputation for said facebook user.

Message was not posted on my Wall but a friend of a friends wall. We all know that what you say online, one day, someone will find it and use it against you.
