I'm seriously considering switching hosts. There must be something they can or do. The damn thing keeps coming back everyday. First it was uniqcount

You are going to switch hosts because you didn't keep your scripts up to date and your out dated insecure scripts are being exploited? Unless that service is part of your contract or SLA it's YOUR responsibility to keep your scripts up to date, not your hosts.
While many potential security threats both known and unknown can be blocked, many cannot. If your server gets hacked via an exploit in the OS or an application (apache, php, mysql, etc) then it's your hosts fault (Unless you are unmanaged/colo). If one of your sites gets hacked/defaced due to you not keeping your scripts up to date, it's your fault.
Switching hosts isn't going to magically update all your scripts and fix your security problems.
