 Getting hacked sucks, plain and simple. It can affect your rankings, cause your readership to be exposed to virus and trojan attacks, make you an unwilling promoter to subject material you may not actually endorse, and in many cases cause the loss of valuable content. However, once it happens it is usually best to not procrastinate on the clean up process, since a speedy restore will most times minimize the damage that was caused.
Following is a step by step process on how to completely clean out and restore a WordPress installation that has been hacked.
1. Backup the site and the database.
2. Make a copy of any uploaded files, such as images, that are referenced.
3. Download a fresh version of WP, all of the plugins you need, and a clean template.
4. Delete all of the files and folders in the WP directory,
either through FTP (slower) or through cPanel’s File Manager (faster).
5. Re-upload the new fresh copies you just grabbed.
6. Run the database upgrade (point your browser at /wp-admin/upgrade.php).
7. Immediately change your admin password.
8. Go through the posts and repair any damage in the posts themselves.
UPDATE: 9. If you are having issues cleaning the installation yourself

 The distinction between WordPress.com and WordPress.org can cause some confusion for people. Let’s clear it up.
WordPress.com Benefits
- It’s free and much easier to setup
- Everything is taken care of: setup, upgrades, spam, backups, security, etc
- Your blog is on hundreds of servers, so it’s highly unlikely it will go down due to traffic
- Your posts are backed up automatically
- You get extra traffic from blogs of the day and tags
- You can find like-minded bloggers using tag and friend surfer
- Your login is secure (SSL) so no one can get into your account if you use wifi
WordPress.com Cons
- We provide 100+ themes (and adding more every day) which you can modify and edit the CSS, but you cannot run a custom theme*
- You can’t hack the PHP code behind your blog*
- You can’t upload plugins
WordPress.org Benefits
- Ability to upload themes
- Ability to upload plugins
- Great community
- Complete control to change code if you’re technically minded
WordPress.org Cons
- You need a good web host, which generally costs $7-12 a month, or thousands of dollars per month for a high traffic site
- Requires more technical knowledge to set up and run
- You’re responsible for stopping spam
- You have to handle backups
- You must upgrade the software manually when a new version comes out
- If you get a huge spike in traffic (like Digg or Slashdot) your site
will probably go down unless you have a robust hosting setup
