How to secure my WP from infected plugins?

What you got to firstly is to check whether any files are present in ur installation that are not suppose to be there. Some of these cleverly named. Secondly check each php file for "eval gzinflate" it shouldn't neccessarily be in any wordpress files. Lastly, you got to comb through ur database.

Dude, rebuild the site from scratch, load your theme and leave it alone for a few days. Then add your plugins one at a time. You need patience to resolved the issue and remember that one definition of insanity is dong the same thing over and over again in the anticipation of a different result. By the way changing one variable at a time is also at the heart of scientific methodology.
if your downloading them from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ or from the new plugins search of the admin panel then your plugins should all be good. i'd be looking at your themes , not just the one your using but any that you have installed

Simple, don't download plugins from untrusted sources. only use trusted source: wordpress.org and/or purchase some premium plugins instead of getting the nulled ones.

Always download the plugins and themes from wordpress site and not from elsewhere. And check the ratings and reviews of any plugin before you install. If you find any malicious plugin from wordpress site, then report them so that they will remove such plugins from the site.
