I'd say to run away into the Hallow- its safer than the Corruption. Totally start over and build a house, get all your NPCs to move in. Kill as many Hallowed monsters as you can, and collect ingredients for Holy Water. Make as much as you can, and use it on the Corruption, it will turn Hallowed. I'd say 9/10 if you don't do that, but otherwise somewhere around 5/10. My case is also similar- me, my sister and cousin smashed Demon Alters for the ore without knowing that the every time we smashed one, some land became either Hallowed or Corrupted.
