My site being listed as malicious by Google, please help

Hi all,

I started to have trouble accessing my sites, and went into filezilla and found a lot of files which i dont recognize.

I deleted them, reinstalled my wordpress and they are accessible again.

Right now, the problem is back, and I found the following msg.

1. Make sure you are using the latest version of Wordpress, older versions have several weakneses allowing them to be easily hacked.

1b. Same applies to plugins, check the Wordpress forums to see if others have had similiar problems

1c. If you have added any server side PHP scripting yourself that passes information between pages, did you remember to sanitise the inputs?

2. Ensure your own PC or laptop is virus free and scan using a boot disc, never trust the installed AV software on a windows PC.

3. Get rid of any packages, scripts, cracked software or keygens downloaded from torrents or othwise naughty web sites as 9 out of ten times they come bundled with a virus or three.

4. My personal favourite remember to logout properly if using a shared PC at school or library because people will play
