I upgrade Wordpress when time permits but I am guilty of ignoring the upgrade alert at the top of the page because it means upgrading my wife's blog, my sister's blog, and a friend's blog as well.

That sound like another fun attack. I think that if you do the steps in the post I linked to, you will be installing a new (upgraded) version of WordPress which will include a new index.php file directly from WordPress which should take care of any code injection problems you might have picked up along the way. If you have that kind of a problem, you might be better off deleting (after backing up, of course) all of the files on your install and uploading a fresh WP and then just copy back any image directories, plugins, custom themes etc. that you use.
