  Hi there,

  Your site is not built with WordPress.com, but with the self-hosted WordPress.org software. For help with this it’s best to post in their forums, as the users there will know what you need to do to track down and remove this type of malicious code from your site’s files.

  Hey all, I’ve removed the link portion of the above js as I’m sure we don’t want anyone clicking on it accidentally (not that I know it would do anything on its own, but I figure an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure).
