 * Hello there,
 * My site has been hacked. The spam comes through the W3 Total cach plugin.
    See

   It’s in my store, this is a disaster.
 * If I delete all caches the spam also away but comes back …

 * Doesn’t sound likea W3TC issue but an issue with you either:
 * 1. Using a known hackable plugin (they are getting a backdoor through it)
 * 2. You havent updated your wordpress in a while and u did so after they got access(
   meaning their is a fake php file or other access into your site)
 * I recommend you deactivate ALL plugins and put on something like Ultimate Security
   plugin to analyze your site including comparing what files have been compromised
   and go from there. Or better yet, delete the entire site and reinstall WordPress
   from scratch and update ALL plugins and reactivate on the essential ones.
