I have had WP sites getting hacked in the past, but never like this before.

I had my client get in touch to say that they had a notice underneath their website name under Google search results stating "This website may be hacked".

So I logged into Google Webmaster Tools and somehow a file called 'hollister.php' had found its way into the wp-includes folder and was producing spam in Google search results.

I removed this file and upgraded WP and all plugins. I also did another scan using Wordfence to check that everything was in order.

I used Google's 'Fetch' tool to verify that the file had been removed.

Does anyone know what I can do to remove them and stop Google from thinking that the website is hacked?

You'll see the message "This site may be hacked" when we believe a hacker might have changed some of the existing pages on the site or added new spam pages. If you visit the site, you could be redirected to spam or malware.
