Many malicious and unknown files reported by WordFense

Remain calm and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

Hi Huriken

If all the files are in core directorie: /wp-admin and /wp-include I would download a fresh copy and replace with the new fresh copies. Don’t use the update feature in your dashboard as it won’t delete any existing files.

That will address issues in core directories, but not if there are other files. Here is a guide that might assist in that process: https://sucuri.net/guides/how-to-clean-hacked-wordpress

Good luck
