Virus, HTML Program Solution?

Basically i have a virus on my computer and although i can't find it, anywhere. It adds a bit of code to all html pages on my computer. I am a web developer so that's allot of pages, basically i have worked out that changing the </body> tag on the pages solves the problem, however i need to remove the code and edit the code on many html pages. I ain't doing it manually unless its last choice.

Skip here for question:

I need a program to remove the code from .html files and add a new line in, anyone know if batch files can do this, code would be nice anyone please! Very computer literate so i can do some bits myself.

Update:

I'll add some extra info, if you change the line of code it comes back, the line of code is an iframe to a virus, which i have block however my users won't. It's every HTML File on my computer, not on a server on my computer. Even help files for say adobe have this fault any file with the </body> tag. Either removing or changing the body tag sorts the problem, i used the hexi b to solve the problem. </Body> All i need is a program to remove the code line from allot of files and allow me to implement the new end body tag!

Thanks for your answers

    Use Notepad++ to search and replace text in a directory.

    I have yet to ever run into or read about a virus that writes HTML code to just HTML files. Is this appearing locally or only after you upload the files to server. Many servers write code to uploaded files depending on the hosting service. Some servers do get infected but the code is usually malicious.

    If you can see this code locally, then it may be your editor.

    This sounds dangerously like a hacker question. What are the body tag changes that fix the problem?
