Watch out, your workaround will break all those WP templates with certain code protected with eval(base64..())

mainly theme developers hide behind evals(base_64) the footer checks, (if people manually removed the credits links from the footer)

A few suggestions:

The easiest way to fix it is by forcing an upgrade on Wordpress. Go to tools->upgrade and choose to upgrade to 2.9.2 even if you are on the latest version already.

Do the same for all the plugins you have in there. It will override the malware entry.

After that, you just have to look for those base64 evals on your themes file, making the job much much easier.

This post also gives some tips on how to analyze/ fix malware on web sites:

I just successfully finished installing WordPress on my domain but it still cannot be seen.
This is my domain: http://work-at-home-to-make-money-online.us/ I tried using /login.php, /index.php,
index.html which I knew would not work. Any suggestions? Sorry to be a bother.
