It appears that the 2.1.1 version of Wordpress available for download over the past few days ago contains malicious code. It seems that the one of the Wordpress servers was compromised and the download modified to include the malicious code. You can read more details on the issue over at wordpress.org but the best advice is to upgrade now.

Is it worth the upgrade to 2.1 at all? I am running on 2.07 and I would upgrade if there is anything special about 2.1, but I’m doing with ok with 2.07.
Hi Shimon,
There are a few new features I really like such as auto-saving of posts as are your writing, the WYSIWYG editor is much improved and overall performance seems to be much better too.
I’d recommend the upgrade but you can see all the changes for yourself here.
