Wow, that's nice...You would think that since the content is on their servers, that they could help you remove it! I guess you're just going to have to scan through your account yourself and delete anything out of the ordinary, or anything you don't remember putting there. Make sure to also check all the html coding on your pages (index, ect..) for strange java scripts, or anything else that shouldn't be there. Does anyone else besides you have access to the hosting account? Good luck!
