   I only noticed this index.php file after getting hit with a virus.
   There is nothing more in it, other than :

   <?php
   // Silence is golden.
   ?>

   After reading different sources, I am confused as to whether this is part of the virus, or whether it is from wordpress, a plugin or something else.

   Can anyone clear this up for me?

   It is present in WordPress intentionally. It serves a blank page if someone attempts casual browsing in certain directories.
