Some other pages seem to be broken ._.
First, export all your posts (wp-admin/export.php). Then try to disable some plugins which can cause that (seo, minify,…)
Could be also cache, if you have caching plugin disable it. When you change permalinks wordpress automatically suppose to update the link using .htcaccess file make sure it is enabled in your hosting site.
Originally the bad links were followed by some characters. Now those are gone but the 404’s remain.

Thanks. I’ll look into all these fixes.
The so-called malware actually is a line of code from WP for getting emails to post. So that’s not it. And I deleted the line of code just to clear that error issue.
I exported only the affected category, and then deleted only some of the articles in the category. I re-imported the category – and the import showed that the articles already existed (I turned off the cache and deleted the cached filed). I checked – and none of the articles were imported.
Yes it is, as are all the others. This is what I had to do:
Exporting and re-importing did work. The deleted files had not been permanetly deleted so I didn’t see them in list, but once undeleted did show back up.
That malware place is sketchy in my opinion – but that’s another topic.
A word of advice though: When importing, turn off the “send to facebook/twitter” plugins, or you’re going to send a bunch of old stuff to FB/Twitter! 🙂 oops.
All better. Now I can mark it as resolved.
