The clean script only removes files that hackers might have uploaded using vBGallery. It doesn't repair anything that a hacker might have done to your site using those uploaded files, since there's no way for us to know what they did or didn't do. A hacker executing a malicious script on your server can do anything from wiping your server's hard drive clean, and deleting your databases, to just changing a few pages around. That's why we always recommend backing up your server daily - most hosts offer these services included. Hackers will always find a way to do their thing despite software developers' best efforts.
